Very pretty,
dainty young
Golden Retriever
mixed with
something
smaller. Sne is
sweet and gentle,
at first.
German Shepherd
is a large full-grown gin who
was aiiDusiness when let out
of her kennel. Obviously
house-trained and possibly
obedience trained.
There are six
Boxers available,
a large male, a
pietty mama, and
then four young,
spindly six-month
old girls - cute,
sweet and
attention loving.
Animal Control is VERY full.
There were so many (as
always) that I couldn't squeeze
in like the Sharpei, a pure
white Shepherd, a small goat,
etc Go visit and see the
amazing variety.
And in the tiny dog category we
have a fuzzy baby terrier pup with
a bit of a pug face, and a poodle.
Yes, he IS a poodle (in a sweater)
but he’s been shaved down
because his coat was so neglected.
He’s a funny, joyful little character.
but shy
