A volunteer writes:  It seems only fitting that this gorgeous little girl has a high fashion name.   Beautiful in her caramel and white coat, her tail never stops wagging, she’s friendly and affectionate, loves playing with a toy, is alert and curious, sits for treats which she takes gently and is simply a love!  Chanel is easy to be with, and is even a great sport about letting me put a costume on her for trick or treating.  She makes the sexiest caterpillar out there!  Chanel wants to meet every dog we pass on the street, and in playgroup she engages in play even tolerating and soliciting a small dog who is intent on mounting her.   What a good girl!   It’s easy to tell this little girl with the illustrious name is as simple and sweet as can be.  She’s tiny in size, gentle in personality, and big in love….so come meet her today and make her yours.
