Charlotte is Barking, Thank You

We received an urgent plea for this temporarily sad, but sweet female, black and white Cocker at the high kill SEAACA shelter in Downey, CA. She was dumped there, by her owners at age 12, because they said she is “going blind.” She was… Continue Reading “Charlotte is Barking, Thank You”
