Pet of the Week: Stain
EUGENE, Ore. – Meet Stain, a 6-year-old terrier-mix who still has all kinds of puppy energy and is in search of a patient fur-ever family!. According to the Greenhill Humane Society, Stain came to their shelter from a difficult situation but is finally coming into his own after plenty of patience and treats. Staffers said that Stain would love for potential visitors to come and visit him a couple of times and get to know him before bringing him to his forever loving home. Stain has been nervous around other dogs in the shelter but may pair well with another calm dog in his future home. Slow introductions to feline friends are recommended, as are families with older kids that can respect his space and help support his training. Stain’s adoption includes his neuter, vaccinations, microchip, certificate for a free vet exam, post adoption support and more.
