SALLY takes a little time to
warm up to new people, but
when she does she is a sweet
little romper who loves to play.
Sally has met several dogs at
the shelter and seems to prefer
the company of the smaller
pups, while larger dogs seem
to make Sally nervous. Sally
would do OK with a doggy
roommate who is under 30 lbs.
