Poochie

Poochie came to us when she was just a few months old, she is now almost 1. She has been spayed, microchipped and had her rabies vaccine. She is a very sweet dog and gets along great with kids, other dogs and cats. She is currently an outside dog, but has stayed inside during the winter, she is not 100% potty trained but with a consistent routine of taking her outside she has very few accidents. She is not aggressive or territorial, she is very playful and doesn’t realize how big she is sometimes when she gets excited. She was rescued out of a bad situation, by a family member who had good intentions but wasn’t prepared to take care of a puppy, he took her to the humane society but since she was not a “stray” dog, and he knew where she came from, they wouldn’t take her in and told him to return her to where he got her. He brought her to me until one of us could find her a home. She deserves more attention than she gets and I would love for her to have a big fenced in yard to play in.
