BIRDIE.

Sanford

SANFORD. Male Lab Mix, DOB: 11/20/2021. Sanford and his three brothers were owner relinquished, and although their past was tough, they’re now thriving in the shelter environment. Once he feels safe and comfortable, he enjoys running and having fun outside. He is a little picky about the pups he pals around with and will likely need a meet and greet before he goes to his furever home. This sweet boy is the last of his litter and is now at the shelter all alone, will you give him a new family to have? As a long-term resident, his adoption fee is discounted to $50!
