Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello, I'm Magdalene and boy, do I have a story I could tell...if I could talk. I was caught and brought into the shelter as a stray after running free for TWO months! Two whole months, I was living on my own. Now, I'm a quiet shelter wondering what's next. Since I came in as a stray, the staff doesn't know too much about me. I'm nervous and scared right now so making new friends is slow going, but once I do, I am sweet and even seem to like belly rubs - but you have to earn my trust to see this belly. I'm not sure how I feel about other dogs yet, so a visit would be necessary. As for cats, those are an unknown too. My breed typically isn't a cat friendly breed, but we're all different, I may do OK with a proper introduction. Because so much about me is unknown and I'm still figuring things out, I need an experienced adult only family whose had cattle dogs before and knows what my breed needs. If you think that's you, reach out to my friends here at the shelter to see if we'd be a match! --- If you are interested in adopting, please come prepared --bring a photo ID, proof of address, and everyone in the home including resident dogs with vaccination history. We are open daily 12-6pm. This dog is available by APPOINTMENT ONLY. --- The Pennsylvania SPCA - Lancaster Center 848 S. Prince St. Lancaster PA 17603 Kennel #16516 717-917-6979 lancaster@pspca.org
