Adopter: Shannon Dayton
Adoption Date: Summer 2023

We are in love with Van! He is so sweet. He was timid at first, but he is a wonderful addition to the family. He is such a cuddler, and we love it!! We are planning to adopt one more. 🙂 He is wonderful!
Thank you so much for making the adoption process EASY! We have two older Rottweiler dogs, and whenever we stated that, everyone was turned off to letting us adopt. Van and our other two dogs get along well and even play with each other:-) We LOVE HIM!!
