08/15/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Say cheeeeeese! Meet our own delightfully friendly platinum-coated Mozzarella, a young beauty guaranteed to put a pep in your step and a song in your heart. I’ve crowned her ‘Most Enthusiastic’ as even the blazing summer heat doesn’t slow her down and she’s as keen to get out and about as ever, pulling me toward the park with a big smile and a happily wagging tail. Miss M seems to be very house trained and knows how to sit on command and lightly mouth treats from my hand but it’s her sociability that marks her as a professional pet, she just loves every person she meets! No one is turned away when it comes to greeting and sniffing introductions and belly rubs are welcomed any time. She enjoys toys but doesn’t guard them and the words ‘soft’ and wiggly’ appear several times in her notes, this girl is almost literally non-stop fun and snuggles! She’s very excited to see other dogs but can be a bit rough in playgroup so a meet’n’greet with prospective four-legged siblings is a must. If your active family is looking for a pretty, playful and petite pet with energy to spare then you’ve found her in Mozzarella. Come meet the Most Enthusiastic Miss M and her cheesy smile today, you’ll be glad you did!
