Meet Donnie and Ronnie, two super cute, blonde Lab mix brothers! These energetic boys are estimated to be about 1 year old and weigh about 55 pounds. We've got them housed together, and they love to play together, but don't need to go home together. We don't usually recommend siblings together, but these adaptable boys probably would do equally well separate or together. Imagine long hikes, playful romps at the dog park, and long hikes to the beach to play in Lake Michigan. Both are eager learners and would thrive with some basic training. Could you be the perfect match for one or both of these adventurous pals? Both are neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, microchipped and Heartworm negative. $85 plus license to adopt. Visit Berrien County Animal Services at 1400 South Euclid Avenue, Benton Harbor, MI 49022 or call 269-927-5648, to learn even more about Ronnie and Donnie!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
