07/29/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Vegas is about as fun as his name is!!! He’s a silly goof ball, walking around with his nose to the ground dragging his long ears beside him!!! Vegas is a handsome dog who was surrendered to the shelter when his family moved to a place that did not allow dogs. Vegas is a lot of fun to have out of the kennel he wants to play and be goofy. He makes you have a permanent smile. Vegas would do well in just about any home please come to siacc and meet him.
