Sir Duke Receives Royal Treatment

IMG_0536

The 4 Paws Society was excited to receive this note along with photos from Amanda Pastran today. She and her husband adopted Grizzly from 4 Paws and renamed him "Sir Duke."

"Just wanted to send you a quick note on the dog we adopted from four paws a while back. He's doing great and growing like crazy! I attached a few pictures to show you how awesome he's doing. We just got back from the vet and he's weighing in at 98 pounds!! :-) And he even took a picture with Santa Claws this christmas!"

Thanks, Amanda for sending this Happy Tail!
