This dear little mixed breed dog is so affectionate that the Shelter volunteers call him "Smoochie." He's a big-hearted small dog, a wonderful little companion.

Give a Shelter pet a loving home. If you can't, donate a little time to socialize the dogs and cats, or sponsor a pet. A little time and effort can improve Shelter life for dogs and cats.

Visit the Washington-Wilkes Animal Shelter at 358 Brown Drive, Washington. Hours are 3-5 p.m. The phone number is 706-678-CATS.
