Story
Sheba is either 5 or 6 years old and was a rescue from a puppy mill. She is a very good girl and loves attention (scratches under her front legs). She is good with kids, cats, and other dogs as she has been all the above. She is a protector. She is create trained and comes with her kennel, food bowl and a 3 gallon water bowl. I hate to let her go but due to other circumstances I have no choice. I am looking for a good home for her so she can be happy and have a yard to play in. I'm coming to a point that if I can not find her a home by the 25th of May, I will have no choice but to take her to a shelter which is something I really do not want to do. Sheba is a very loving and good girl.
