Since arriving as a stray on 1/26/2026, this 1-year-old Pit Bull/Basset Hound mix has been learning to navigate shelter life. At first, the noise and unfamiliar environment made him shy and unsure—he even had to be carried out of his kennel. But every single day, Slane is gaining confidence. Now when he sees you, he’s ready to GO and happily heads outside to enjoy fresh air and attention.
The shelter just isn’t where he’s meant to bloom. In a loving home, he will truly shine.
