Check out this beautiful, blue-eyed girl. Morgan was surrendered after her owners left her with a family member and they were unable to take care of her any longer. She is a sweet and soulful senior who walks well on a leash and has been around children in her previous home. She has also been around a few other dogs and seems to prefer calmer smaller dogs. Even at her age, Morgan loves to go on walks and is very playful. She can be a bit mischievous and likes to sneak out of doors and tries to go on her own adventures. Her new family will need an extra eye on her. When Morgan came to us we noticed she had several small lumps on her stomach. Once we removed them and sent them out for testing, they came back as malignant. Our veterinarian feels that right now she is free of any masses and cancers, but if any lumps appear in the future her new adopters would need to consult with their vet. If you would like more information about this special girl or you would like to make an appointment to meet her, contact the shelter. Morgan is a part of our foster to adopt program. She will need to come back for a dental exam.

We will strictly enforce this in order to keep our animal care team protected while still maintaining the most essential function of our operation ... finding homes for animals in need. • ANIMAL SURRENDERS: Our business practice for surrendering a pet remains the same. All pet owners must contact WARL in advance of surrendering a pet. Please call (508) 853-0030. • SPAY/NEUTER CLINICS: All scheduled appointments will be honored.
