Story
Meet Neesha, a dog with a tale that's sure to tickle your funny bone. Once a self-proclaimed 'free spirit,' Neesha's journey to the shelter began when she attempted to join a squirrel yoga class in the park. The squirrels, however, were not so keen on her downward dog. After a hilarious chase involving three squirrels, two pigeons, and a very confused park ranger, Neesha found herself at the shelter. Just kidding! (Or are we?...) Neesha is sweet, friendly, and has a wiggly enthusiasm for life. She loves to give kisses and will gently paw you for attention. With her joyful spirit and love for laughter, Neesha is ready to find a loving home where she can share her zest for life and maybe even find a yoga class that appreciates her unique style. To learn more or to meet this adorable gal, visit www.potterleague.org, fill out an adopter profile, give us a call at 401-846-8276, or best yet, come by our Animal Care & Adoption Center located at 87 Oliphant Lane in Middletown, RI to meet her today!
