01/02/2014 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Nena is quite anxious in her kennel, and when I leashed her I noticed that she has a manicure with pink nail polish! Pink is perfect for a beautiful gray dog. Surrendered by her family due to personal problems, she lived with 2 adults and 5 children under 10 years old, is housetrained, paper trained, lived happily with other dogs, is friendly to all, knows ‘sit’, ‘stay’ and ‘come’. Nena is a petite little girl with a dainty walk and sweet expression. She makes wonderful eye contact as we take some photos, sits when I ask her to and takes treats gently. Her leash manners are pretty good, and any pulling right now is due to some anxiety in her changed circumstances. She eliminates along the way, confirming, as her former owner told us, that she is housetrained. Off leash in the back yard she trots along daintily exploring her new surroundings. As we were cleaning up in the back, organizing and putting away some donations, she curiously investigated everything ‘helping’ us in our tasks. She’s an adorable little peanut, sweet and social, giving a little woof from time to time to remind us that she was there. As if we needed reminding! Nena is hoping that her new family discovers her quickly. She’s looking for a family who can provide some quality exercise, and lots of love. She’ll take care of the rest! Ask to meet her today.
