During a recent government meeting, Maricopa County Animal Care and Control presented a pet showcase featuring a unique seven-month-old dog named Larry. Introduced by Kim, Larry was highlighted as a special case, having been brought to the shelter on October 15th. Although he was quickly adopted, he was returned over the weekend due to his tendency to chew on various items, a common behavior for puppies.

Kim emphasized the importance of finding a suitable home for Larry, one that can guide him in learning appropriate chewing habits. Despite his recent setback, Larry's previous adopter reported that he is very friendly and gets along well with young children, making him a promising companion for families. The showcase aimed to raise awareness about the challenges faced by pets in shelters and the need for responsible pet ownership.
