Needs a forever home.
He’s a six-year-old Whippet/Staffordshire terrier mix who gets attached to people very quickly. He gets along well with other dogs and with children.

Turbo knows basic commands, is healthy, and up to date on vaccinations and flea//tick protection.

He is an adoptable with the Halifax pawd of ElderDog.
