12/19/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Puppy Puma is looking for someone as special as he is. He’s a gorgeous playful affectionate pup. His coat gleams with good care, he loves playing with a plush toy, is likely housetrained, sits when asked and takes his treats gently. As we walked to the park, Puma wagged his tail at dogs of all sizes, and in the backyard, greeted all appropriately through the fence. Puma has perfect playful puppy energy, is well mannered, calming right down when asked to sit, looking up expectantly for his treat. A Puma is, of course, a sleek cat, but we’re taking a bit of poetic license and calling our sleek boy Puma. Everything a puppy should be but in a home, Puma would love to meet you today.
