she wasn’t getting along well with
other pets in the home. Scooter
is a very sweet girl who desires

excessively, nor being picked up
much. Is she the one for you?
If you’re seeking a new friend
who is smart, good-looking, and
affectionate, RIVER is the girl for
you! She loves people and enjoys
cuddles and relaxing at your feet.
A clever, active girl, she’ll benefi t
from further obedience training or
dog sports to keep her bright mind
and body in shape. River would
love a new home where she can
be the center of attention, the only
dog in the home. She’ll do fi ne
with children over the age of 12.
Come meet this sweet gal!
