Just in time for New Years, meet Champagne! 🍾
Champagne is a 67 pound Shepherd mix of some kind who is about 5 years old. He is a playful, silly pup who just wants your affection!
He can be a tad shy at first when meeting new people, but warms up quickly. Champagne did not do well meeting a cat in the shelter, but seemed interested in playing with other dogs. He wanted to be the dominant one, so a meet and greet will be required if there are other dogs in the home.
