Meet Neil, the seal

Meet our very own seal, Neil! He came to us from a local shelter after being found as a stray. Neil is truly a dream dog. He is playful and energetic, but knows how to sleep and cuddle when the time is right. He doesn't mind being left alone, and is very food motivated, so he has been good at training. Neil has never met someone he doesn't like, and loves to crawl into any open laps (much like a cat!). He likes other dogs, but can live alone as well. He enjoys a long walk followed by a good cuddle session, after which he loves to settle in for a snooze. Watch Neil's story here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2szsiIJak1/?igsh=ejJqc2kycXV5a3R2 Neil was rescued with dental issues and is in need of surgery. In lieu of an adoption fee, we would be thrilled for a potential adopter to provide a larger adoption donation and/or assistance crowdsourcing funds towards their necessary vet bills if possible.
