12/03/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: OMG that face! Those rootbeer eyes and little pink piggie nose. This little peanut is the cutest!!! AND she’s sweet and affectionate. AND easy on the leash. AND quiet in her kennel (except for her tail thumping against the side wall). What more could you want? You’ve got to meet this little nugget. She will make your heart melt. Or explode. Either way, I promise it’s a good thing.
