Update on this shy guy!

Portland Texas Animal Care Services went out to the Sports Complex yesterday but was unable to locate this big boy. As the evening went on, he returned to the Sports Complex, and this morning he was officially picked up and brought safely to the shelter.

He is now safe and sound. If this handsome big boy belongs to you, please contact the Portland Texas Animal Care Services as soon as possible at (361) 777-4444.
