Two for Tuesday!

Meet Biscuit and Gravy!

They are fostered by MASTER (Mid Atlantic Scottish Terrier Education and Rescue - Master).

These brothers lived in a car with a homeless owner and they were surrendered to the shelter in need of care.

After surgery for severe dental issues and with other needed medical care completed, they are healthy, happy, active seniors.

Biscuit and Gravy are house trained, friendly and loving.

They are looking for either a permanent foster (medical care paid for) or an adoption. Contact [email protected] for info more info about these boys.
