My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Oh Pierre! What a sweet boy he is! He was a stray in Peoria who found his way to us. We are still learning so much about him. So far, he has done well with all volutneers/staff, and some dogs he`s met! We aren`t sure about kids or cats yet. Ask to meet Pierre today!
