My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Introducing Sarah! Look at this adorable older gal. She is a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix around 9 years old. Poor Sarah was found on the Turnpike and rescued by a very kind person. Sarah has been in foster care where they have learned that she is very affectionate, loves children and is housebroken. Sarah appears to not like other dogs so she will do best as an only dog where she can receive all the love and attention she deserves. The sweet, kind spirit needs to find her new family quickly. She has so much love and joy to offer, it should not be wasted!
