Meet Fawn, a 2-year-old female dog that is the total package: beauty AND brains! While her good looks speak for themselves, Fawn will show off just how smart she is -- especially if a treat is involved! This young lady knows basic commands like sit, stay, shake, lay down, outside. Fawn is currently in a foster care home, having a blast with her doggy sibling that she play wrestles with. At the end of a doggone long day, she will be looking for cuddle time with you. Fawn is a gentle soul with a heart of gold that she will give to you slowly, but surely after she gains your trust (reinforced with delicious snacks and ear scratches).
