LEWIS COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY PET OF THE WEEK

New pet featured each Wednesday!

JULY 10, 2024: DAISY

"BIG NEWS at the shelter! Our renovation project is beginning this week, starting with the new HVAC System. We sure will enjoy having the air conditioning... My name is Daisy and I am a 1-year-old Shar Pei mix.  I came in last February on Dog Control and no one claimed me.  I really need to be your only pet but I do like children. Car rides are one of my most favorite activities. I am playful and love to cuddle and be close to my people. There are so many animals at the shelter right now and we all would love to be in our forever home before this construction really takes off!!! Please come check us out."
