Donnie

Donnie was found in the streets. After trying to find her family and finding no one is looking for her we are looking for her new family. She’s very smart but has a lot of manners to learn. She’s about 7months old and very quick to catch on to new things. She loves our dogs, cats, and toddlers! She wants nothing more than to play all day! She’ll need to be spayed. She’s potty trained and does well in her kennel at night. She’s a professional fetcher and she’s sweet as pie! She has a grumpy face (think the actor ‘ice cube’) but she’s so affectionate and loving. She is confident yet submissive with our other animals. I think she’d fit in well with an active family and fur siblings!

Rehoming reason details (if necessary): Unfortunately all of our pets are elderly and one requires a major spinal surgery soon so he’s fragile and she’s a little clumsy. Our elderly pups are not up for the task of her normal puppy energy. She deserves more than we can offer and our elderly dogs deserve to live their golden years the way they prefer (unbothered and on the sofa).
