Here's what the humans have to say about me:
How do you like my new hair do? I came to the shelter so tangled I cried when I moved so I had to get shaved down. The groomer came up with this idea and I really like it - it makes me feel so fresh and sassy! My foster mom thinks I'll have a softer look when my hair grows back but I sort of like this punky style. I think I also need a little color in my hair - don't you?.
I'm a pretty social girl. At the vet's office I was happy to greet the dogs and humans that came in while we waited. I have a lot of energy and especially love to be with people and dogs that will play with me. I adore kids! [Princess recently stayed in a home with visiting grandchildren 5 and 7 years old].
If you want a walking or hiking partner I'll be happy to join you. I went for my first hike after spending over a month in a shelter cage and had a great time. It felt so good to stretch my legs and get some fresh air. When I want to relax I'll go to my crate (or I might check if there is a lap available).
Hurry and fill out an application if you want to meet me. I have a feeling I may find my forever home soon - at least that is my hope!
