Since May 21st, this sweet 2-year-old girl has been sitting in a kennel wondering when it will finally be her turn.
She isn't on the euthanasia list today, but we all know how quickly that can change when a dog becomes a long-term resident.
Heartworm Negative
Well Behaved
Walks Nicely on a Leash
Calm and Gentle
Quiet in Her Kennel
Did very well on her temperament test with male and female dogs
When I approached her kennel, she was calm and quiet. She walked beautifully on leash and passed other dogs without any issues at all.
Once we got out to the run, I expected her to take off and explore. Instead, she stayed close. While there were plenty of new sights and smells around her, what she seemed to want most was affection.
Every time I reached down to pet her, she happily leaned in for more. She wasn't interested in too much other than being close to me. She simply wanted companionship. A kind touch.

Dogs like her are often overlooked because they aren't the loudest. They aren't the most dramatic. They don't demand attention.
But they deserve it just the same.
