Critter Details

Meet Rory, the terrier mixed breed. Rory came to the Shelter with some siblings (Raye and Rome). They had been in a home environment with children, other dogs and farm animals. Upon arrival to the Shelter, Rory was initially really unsure of the new people and the environment. He has slowly started to come out of his shell. Rory would thrive in a savvy adoptive home that will be patient with him as he transitions. When he is feeling comfortable, he is a typical adolescent â&#194&#128&#194&#147 running around, playing with toys and getting his ya-yaâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s out. Rory may do well in a home with another dog after a meet â&#194&#128&#194&#152n greet here at the Shelter.
