Meet Grover, the sweet Labrador retriever mix! Grover came to us as a stray so we do not have any history for him, we estimated him to be around two years old and he weighs just over 30 pounds. Grover is extremely friendly, and rolls right over for belly rubs! Grover enjoys his bed, squeaky toys, and playing next to other dogs in our outside runs. He seems to enjoy the company of other dogs, but would like to meet any potential siblings prior to adoption. Grover is a really sweet boy who has quickly stolen the hearts of everyone here at the shelter, if he looks like your next best friend- apply for Grover today! Visit Grover at the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
