Sergeant Pepper is Our Pet of the Week on Wet Nose Wednesday

Brianna from the Humane Society of West Michigan wasn't able to come into the studio this morning due, of course, to the COVID-19, but talked on the phone with me about Sergeant Pepper!

Sergeant Pepper is a staff favorite, this adorable boy is a LOT of fun in a little package! He loves to play with toys--he adores stuffies in particular--and has quite the growing collection in his kennel! He likes get his zoomies on, is a total snuggle bug, and is looking for a quiet, routine home where he can be your only pet and monopolize all of your attention. This Sergeant Pepper doesn’t want to be part of a Lonely Hearts Band, and is hoping to find a family soon!
