Description:
Fraiser is a hoot! What a funny little Bichon. He has had a haircut since these photos were taken, but I kinda like that disheveled look ~ makes me feel good about me! This poor little guy was rescued from a kill shelter. The administrator contacted Judy and asked her if she could take him. Well, gosh, who could sahy no to this fellow? Having lost his home of seven years, it is our hope that we can find him a new one in time for Christmas.

Volunteer update: Frazier is one laid back guy! He is a bit older and just slower. He is a larger small breed mix at 20lbs and most likely mixed with poodle. He is sweet but is a bit slow to move as it seems his joints are a bit slow to react! he is super sweet!
