🐾 6 pups enjoyed a day away from the shelter on Saturday at the Tractor Supply adoption event. Adrienne found herself a new family💕

Queenie, Blaise, Steve-O, Marge & Robin had lots of fun but they had to return to the shelter where they hope to find families this week 🤞🏻Please share their adorable faces and let’s get them all loving homes!

They are all sweet pups and deserve homes of their own. Go meet them from 10-2 this week (shelter is closed on Wednesday)!
