MEET AUBREY!STATS: 2 years old, spayed, American Foxhound Mix, 42 lbsAFFECTION/ENERGY LEVEL: I am a super sweet and playful girl! While I have a lot of hound energy, I get it out when playing outside, running around with other dogs, or chasing the ball. Fun fact - I play very well with other dogs and toys and I have shown that I know how to share very nicely!WHAT I LOVE: I love to play with toys - anything that squeaks, bounces, or rolls! I really love it when my humans are included in on the fun, so playing fetch is a perfect activity! I love to run and would do excellently if you have a yard!KIDS: While I haven’t been formally tested with kids at the shelter, the staff thinks my low key but playful, sweet personality would make me a good buddy for kids that are respectful and kind towards me.OTHER DOGS: I`m dog-friendly and enjoy the company of other dogs! I go to playgroup here at the shelter!CATS: UnknownHER MATCH: I would be the perfect dog for someone looking to make their life a little more fun and active! I love going on walks, so I could keep us both in shape! I have such contagious loving energy. I would do great with a dog sibling or as an only dog, as long as I have someone to love me!SPECIAL NOTE: You should see my pearly white smile!Complete an online application and get pre-approved to adopt at https://www.cognitoforms.com/YorkCountyAnimalControl/PetAdoptionSurvey.
