Meet Usher. Th is Louisiana boy
came from a hoarding situation
and has spent most of his life
in a shelter. His transition to
home life will be something that

special home with the love and
patience he requires. Usher has
a sweet personality and is kind
of a goof-ball when he wants
to be. If you are looking for a
sweet boy that is looking for a
soft spot to land. Our staff will
be happy to talk with you about
this great little guy!
