DOG OF THE WEEK
Meet Qwinnie, a sweet lab/corso mix full of love! She adores belly rubs, physical touch, and gives the best kisses (if allowed). Qwinnie enjoys playing with other dogs and is a social butterfly. Unfortunately, she is struggling in the shelter and needs a home by Tuesday, 10/22. Could she be your forever companion? Visit her today! Watch Qwinnie in action: YouTube | Learn more about her here: Adopt Qwinnie
