He has had all of his shots, and he is neutered. Fear not: He's already house-trained.
Reggie's current caretakers say:
Reggie is a goofy guy with a contagious smile. Reggie came to PWP from another shelter. There he was surrendered after being tied up outside with a collar so tight that it cut into his neck. His neck is healed (with a probable scar) and he is missing part of his left ear. Reggie wants to make up for lost time in his past and experience being spoiled.

Tucker likes to socialize, and he'll get along great with your other dogs and cats. He has been vaccinated and neutered.
From Tucker's current caretaker:
Tucker is a puppy mill cast off and due to his early mistreatment he is very shy and afraid at first. He warmed up quickly to his foster mom and was snuggling in her lap a week later. His furever home must understand if will take him a week or two to adjust to a new environment and come out of his shell and then he will blossom.
