A Little Bit About Me…

A volunteer writes: When I walked up to Basil’s pen today, she very calmly sat down like a perfect little angel, patiently waiting for me to put on her leash and take her out. Once we were outside, she did pull a bit on the leash (she’s a young lady with lots of energy, can you blame her?) but calmed down once we started around the block. This pretty, low-riding lady seemed to be housetrained, didn’t mind the pigeons we walked by, and is looking for her forever home. Come and meet her today!
