Pizza is a goofy girl. She’s super sweet, but a little anxious around other dogs. She is a true Velcro dog and wants to follow you around all over the house.
She and our cat used to be best buddies and play together, but over the last year she’s become more aggressive with him. We want to find her a loving home so they can both live long happy lives.
She has a history of idiopathic seizures, usually about 6 a year. They mainly occur while she’s sleeping after too much excitement (holidays, being chased by kids or dogs who won’t leave her alone, seeing her favorite people and being crated before she has time to slowly calm down).
