Nuuk is one of the rescue dogs from Old Dominion Humane Society (ODHS) who visited the center as part of the nonprofit organization’s “Cuddle Club” program. Volunteers accompany the dogs to rehabilitation centers and nursing homes to bring smiles to the residents’ faces. Nuuk was the perfect choice for a visit, because he’s playful, affectionate and an all-around happy pup.
