| Tuffy |
Tuffy was rescued from a gravel pit, suffering from malnutrition and a terrible case of mange but is in great shape now. Tuffy was a bit shy when he first arrived, but is now playful and friendly and gets along with other dogs. He is nine months old and weighs 36 pounds. Tuffy is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and on heartworm preventative. His Operation Kindness Pet ID is 57861.
