Plenty of Pets
Sebastian is a two-year-old German shepherd-Staffordshire terrier mix who needs someone who will help him overcome his fears. He can be shy at first but comes out of his shell quickly, especially if there are treats around. He loves going for walks.
Sebastian needs an adult-only home and should be taken to obedience classes.
He has been learning to love people again since arriving at the shelter in November and now he’s ready for his own home.
To meet Sebastian, stop by the Colchester SPCA shelter at 408 Industrial Avenue.
