Pet pic of the week

Glenn is a chill young guy who loves being around people and joining in on whatever you're doing. He can be a little nervous when left alone at first, but with some patience, a predictable routine and lots of love, he'll grow more confident every day. He's dog friendly, doing well with house training and has the occasional zoomie moment to keep things fun. For more information, stop by the Hinsdale Humane Society Tuthill Family Pet Rescue & Resource Center at 21 Salt Creek Lane, visit http://www.hinsdalehumanesociety.org or call (630) 323-5630.
