Story
Megan is a sweet girl. She would thrive in a home being the only dog or with another laid back dog. She is a sweet girl, she loves to take naps and watch tv with you. She would also do well in a home that doesn’t have young kids , a pretty quiet home. She will need a fenced in yard. She would do well in an elderly household.
