Can you spare a few belly rubs for a snuggly buddy who'd love to curl up next to you on the couch? Then Turtally Awesome is your girl! Come meet her and see all the ways she turtally lives up to her name. After coming to APA with a broken pelvis in the spring, she has bounced back to full activity. She's a rock star at leash walking (no pulling!) and loves long walks. She's even begun going to playgroup with a few friends. As a CGC (Canine Good Citizen) trainee, Turtally has mastered sit, down, and wait/stay. She also does well in the crate for several hours--especially when she has one of her favorite knotted rope toys. Give this spunky little girl a chance and you will have the most Turtally Awesome best friend ever.
