Training Update!

Southern California

Look at our beautiful Velma go. She has been with Nhut Vo of Redemption Tails training for almost 2 weeks. She is doing so well. We are really hoping that we can get some interest in her while she is still at the trainers. Ideally the prospective adopters could meet with her and Nhut. Please fill out an adoption application if you’d like to adopt Velma!
