Sweet and easygoing Whim might just be the dog of your dreams! She's a mellow girl with soft eyes and an even softer heart. She enjoys leisurely walks around our campus and snuffling gently through the fallen leaves. At five years old, she's a mature lady with good manners who is already housetrained! She has lived with another dog before and gets along great with her new pooch playmates here. Whim is the kind of dog whose jolly, joyful nature makes every day you share with her special. Let her fill your home with love!
