Story
Summer is a 7 year old and 13 pound dog who is looking for her forever home. She is wary of new people but once you are in her social circle she loves to get attention. She enjoys long walks, sun bathing, cuddling, and running around in big spaces (yards with grass are her favorite!). Her favorite treats are beef jerky (for dogs), carrots, bananas, and apples.I have a history of living with dogs, but may be selective with your dog. I do best with laid back dogs.I don`t have a history of living with cats, but may do well with a slow introduction. Due to my personality, I`m a better fit for home with teens and up.If you are interested in this specific animal, please come to the shelter for walk-in adoptions Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30am to 5:30pm. We recommend coming in as early as possible, as adoptions are first-come, first-served
