Lennox joined us in February of 2022 at the clinic at just two months of age. He has quickly assumed the position of most popular staff member with our practice members and we are so happy to have his gentle energy in the clinic. He is growing quickly and loves people!  He seems to know who wants some extra attention when they come visit us. He will settle into place unless you decide you want to throw the ball or play tug of war with him. He still has lots of puppy energy if you let him share it with you! If anyone is uncomfortable around dogs, we will gladly ensure Lennox is securely laying on his bed behind the gate.
