My story

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

Meet Beef! This sweet boy was found as a stray. Luckily, a Good Samaritan brought him in and he is now ready to find his furrever home! Sometimes stray dogs need a little more time and space to get accustomed to living in a home. It is always a good idea to start off your new dog in a dedicated space equipped with a bed, food, and toys. This will help them decompress and get accustomed to the new sights, smells, and sounds. With some food, play, and patience, most dogs will really enjoy being part of a family again. Interested in helping Beef find a home just in time for the holidays and go from stray to cherished pet? Come and meet with him at Anti Cruelty today!
