Please meet Sasparilla. This sweet beauty might possibly be the most perfect dog at the shelter and shes definitely the winner of the SOCIAL BUTTERFLY contest! She recently arrived at PACC after being saved by a kind person and she has definitely taken over our hearts. She has all those wonderful traits that make her incredibly easy to love: friendly, well-behaved, gentle, easy-going, mild-mannered, tolerant, and super loving.
This tender-hearted gal certainly hasnt had the easiest life it appears shes been bred way too many times and then ended up living on the streets. But in spite of whatever sadness shes endured, it hasnt affected her shining spirit one bit. She has such an amazing attitude and is so eager to have human companionship. Heres just a small sample of things we adore about her:
-Shes very people-oriented and makes friends easily she truly believes everyone is her best friend.
-Shes so happy all.the.time. She constantly has a smile on her face and her tail never stops wagging.
-She follows instructions well and will sit for treats which she takes very patiently and softly.
-Shes simple to leash up and she walks easily and in-sync with her handlers pace. Shes curious about other dogs going by but is never reactive.
-She has the ideal mix of energy - plenty of spunk and liveliness but also relaxed and mellow.
-Shes very affectionate and thoroughly enjoys being petted and praised. She gives excellent kisses too!
-Shes a nice combination of being independent blended with being a Velcro dog.
Sasparilla was fast-tracked when she arrived at the shelter because she easily allowed staff to interact with her even when getting her vaccinations. When she attends play group, shes tolerant and social when meeting other dogs and oftentimes even engages in play. The handlers say overall shes an easy-going gal but sometimes she can get a little too exuberant and assertive when interacting with other dogs. She shares a kennel with a shy male dog her size and gets along well.
This cheerful and devoted gal is definitely a dog who will lift your spirits and make you feel loved! And since she craves human companionship, she needs a kind and caring home with someone who can spend plenty of time doting on her and giving her the soft, comfortable retirement life a gal o
