Bo's sponsor: Cecilia Wong.

Would you like to be a sponsor?Bo was just
a big puppy. Like most poor GSD's that have been chained and
forgotten, he was just basking in all of the love and attention that
he could get. He
liked to get pets and snuggles and play with toys. He was very quick
to break out
of his shell and act like the puppy he never got to be. Very rambunctious,
very
large, and in need of training, this big guy was all Shepherd. He picked
up on the
obedience during lessons very quickly and was eager to learn. A strong
arm and good
shoes was a requirement though! He hasd been a pleasure to care for
and he looked
forward to loving and protecting a family of his very own.
