Oreo returns for a visit
During the course of an adoption held at PetSmart in  Springfield, Saturday, January 17th, we were delighted to receive a visit from Oreo, a big Chocolate Lab, whom we had adopted the previous week.  After only a week in his new home Oreo looks great, and his owner reported that Oreo had bonded with the young puppy with whom he shares his new home, and is acting as a mentor to him.  We always knew that Oreo was special.  01/19/2026
