Camino de Santiago
JAZZY, a beautiful, 1-year-old
German shepherd/Catahoula
leopard dog cross, sadly arrived
as an unclaimed stray. She is
very outgoing once she knows
you, and would make a great
adventure partner! Jazzy is playful
and eager to learn; obedience
classes would be a great bonding
experience and help her become
a more confi dent dog. Jazzy did
well meeting a dog at the shelter,
but a doggie meet-and-greet
is always advised to ensure
compatibility. Is Jazzy the sweet
girl to complete your family?
