Story
Spring is a spunky, tail-wagging, delightful young girl, she seeks out attention and is very sociable, affectionate, and wants to climb in your lap. She is completely thrilled to be outside and to feel the soft grass under her feet, and will sit for treats and takes them nicely. She walks well on a leash. She loves toys and balls and playing with other playful dogs. This sweet girl would dearly love to end up in a home in which she would be given daily exercise, enrichment, and playtime; afterwards lying in a soft cushy, doggy bed or snuggled up to a person who would love her—that’s what her dreams are made of! She already knows the sit command and is smart and motivated enough to learn additional commands and is treat motivated. Can you find it in your heart to make her dreams come true by networking her or if you are missing a member of your family she would love to meet you! Meet Spring!  Mother's Spring and Summer were abandoned at the shelter by their owner about to give birth any minute, scared with only each other these sweet sisters both became new mom's after being rescued by Legacy Humane Society. Spring had five adorable babies,  Bloom, Equinox, Pollen, Sapling and Sprout  were born in a loving foster home and are doing great!.  Spring is a beautiful black with white and brown spayed female, she is a Rat Terrier mix, a small petite girl with a white chest, 4 white socks on all four feet, soulful brown eyes, and an adorable stub tail that is always wagging. She weighs 25 lbs. and is 1 and 1/2 years old. She is house and crate trained, walks on a leash and is very friendly and sweet. Spring is good with other dogs and loves to explore the neighborhood on walks and relax with her foster mom on the couch. She is looking for a family where she will be a loved member of the family forever. If you are looking for a new family member and think Spring might be the one, please complete an application on our website and her foster mom will be in touch.  The adoption fee is $275.00 and covers her spay, vaccinations, de-wormer, first dose of heartworm preventative and microchip.
