Did you know? Petting and playing with dogs can help reduce stress and, of course, boost your mood! We invite you to take a moment to paws and relax with some adorable dogs from the Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center.
Priceless Pets will bring the dogs they currently have available for adoption to enjoy a day out, socialize and perhaps meet their next forever family. Take a break, come out to enjoy the sunshine and scratch a few furry ears! Please know, there is no commitment to adopt.
