Knowing there are so many wonderful pets needing good homes and families to love them, it felt like the right thing to do," says Sandy Lewis-Duvall, owner of The Shabby Dog.
Visitors and adopters will be offered an opportunity to tour The Shabby Dog, which has a boutique retail store in the front and a pet grooming facility and a grassy outdoor at the back of this quaint "house" nestled adjacent to Sierra Madre's main street.
