Doomley came to Adams County Pet Rescue when a relative of her previous owner stepped in to prevent her and her siblings from being dumped somewhere at random. She and her two siblings were very skinny and hungry. The three thrived, gained weight and Doomley now weighs in at 35 pounds, and is about half-grown at six months old. She only weighted in at 15 pounds when she first arrived at the shelter. While interest has been expressed for Doomley, she has a lot of friends at the shelter that also need good homes. Visit adamscountypetrescue.com for more information on Doomley and her shelter friends. ACPR is located at 1961 W. Bench Road near Othello. The shelter is currently in need of adult dog food, adult small breed dog food and kitten chow.
