I’d love to meet you and see if we click and can hang out together for the long term. Feel free to provide cheesy treats. If this big lump of cheddar seems like your type, visit GrantCountyAnimalOutreach.org and fill out his application today. If you can’t adopt right now but would like to help a local shelter, visit the website and click “donate.”
