Green River Animal Shelter Director Tammy Campbell writes, “This boy is up for adoption. He is around two years old, he is good with other dogs and doesn't mind our cats. He is great on a leash and he sure got the looks. He is a boxer mix and he loves attention and affection." $50.00 adoption fee pays to have him neutered at our local vets. We are open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10am-4pmCT and on Saturday from 10am-2pmCT. GRAS is closed Monday, Thursday, and Sunday. For more information call (270) 385-9655. Comments | Permalink
