12/06/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: This lady is quite a Diamond in the ruff (rough). What an adorable girl with the kindest eyes. She was a treat to walk and did not pull on the leash at all. She also knew how to “sit” and got several treats for doing so – I couldn’t help but spoil her! As we walked, she kept looking back at me as if to say “am I doing okay?” Come meet this obedient beauty today!
