LAKEPORT, Calif. – This sweet little girl has had a tough story so far.
Shelter staff said she came from a home where she was found tied to a shed, with puppies and no food or water in sight.
She and two of her pups subsequently were taken in at Lake County Animal Care and Control.
She's a little girl, under 40 pounds, with a dark mottled coat.
Initially, she didn't understand English, but shelter staff said she is quickly learning, loves to play in the play yard and enjoys a game of fetch, walks well on a leash and responds readily to her handler and to treats.
With her mellow personality, she is happy to lie down next to a human companion and hang out, and gets along with dogs of both sexes.
Additionally, the shelter evaluator found that she has no interest in cats, and she shows no signs of resource guarding with humans or other animals.
If you're looking for a fine friend to join your family, pay her a visit at the shelter. She's in kennel No. 4, ID No. 4428.
