Lucille/socks is a very sweet young dog. We found her abandoned near where I work. She kept coming back around just begging for some sort of love and attention. I took her home to clean her up and make sure she was healthy. The vet says she’s doing great! I truly just want to give her a better chance at finding her forever home. She’s playful does great with people and other animals.
