Meet Water Loving’ Lassie

Lassie is a 4-year-old terrier and lab mix. She has been with us at the shelter since December 2023.

Lassie, a delightful 4-year-old terrier-lab mix, has been patiently waiting at the shelter since December 2023. Her endearing nature and irresistible charm make her the perfect companion, and we hope her forever home is just around the corner.

Her boundless energy, funny personality, and playful spirit make her a bundle of joy who thrives on fun and adventure. Her love for water adds an extra splash of excitement, making her an ideal companion for anyone looking for a lively and engaging partner in play.

She is also incredibly affectionate and wants someone to love her. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines.
