08/16/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: You don’t get a whole lot of “personal space” when you spend time with Lacey. She’s a dog that likes to stay close, so close that she often jumps up on you to get your attention. But who wouldn’t want a dog that could make you feel like you’re the most important, pertinent person in the world? Lacey’s former owner confirms: Lacey is the most loyal, loving and affectionate dog around! She likes children, but may do best with older kids, since her knack for staying close may cause her to knock one down. She’s been around other dogs and is playful with them and even lived with a cat who she got along with well. Lacey reportedly knows the command “Bang! Bang!” and will play dead on hearing it. Lacey seems housetrained and walks nicely on the leash. She is friendly and wiggly, and while she may have some energy to burn, she is just as content relaxing in the shade. If you’re looking for a dog who’s always ready to cuddle, and will have a paw on you at all times, search no further, Lacey is the one for you! Ask to meet her today!
