11/01/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Wednesday is one cool pup! She walks nicely on the leash, seems very housetrained and immediately showed me some of the tricks that she knows. Offer her a treat and she will “sit,” “give paw,” and lay “down” on command. In her former home, she was described as “full of energy” and “lovable.” She loves to play fetch, tells you when she has to go outside, and would do best in a home without kids. So, if you’re looking for a fun, loyal dog for every day of the week, ask to meet Wednesday, today!
