06/03/15 21:48 She was very sweet and friendly during the intake. She had a soft wiggly body, and wagging tail, and soft eyes. She would lean into me when I petted her. She took treats very gently from my hand and would sit and give me her paw each time before receiving a treat. She allowed handling and showed no signs of aggression.
06/06/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Our full figured chunky mama is dressed in a gorgeous black coat threaded through and through with gold threads. Her face is chiseled and elegant and if she were a person we would say she has high cheekbones. Her medical intake notes her teeth are “pearly white” and indeed she’s a pup who has been well cared for. She’s likely housetrained, ‘going’ as soon as we were out the door and then showed off lovely leash manners as we walked to the park. Sweet, shy and quiet she watches the activity in the park as I snap some photos, and seems to be looking for her person. Off leash in the backyard she comes when I call her, and hangs out by my side as I take some notes. In play groups she’s not interested in interacting as of this writing. This little girl was clearly a cherished companion and is looking for her balance now without her people. We’d love to see the worried look on her face replaced with a smile when her new family meets her so hurry on down to make her yours today.
