12/24/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: An odyssey is defined as a long and eventful journey, but we’re hoping that our Odyssey will have a short and eventful journey….from our ‘house’ to yours. Absolutely gorgeous in her slate grey coat, she’s petite, friendly, bouncy, friendly and playful. Easily leashed we head outside and after going potty we head to the park. Odyssey doesn’t mind being tethered for photos and after snapping a few we’re back in the pen for some off leash time. Posing for more photos, and with a promise of a treat, Odyssey shows off her, her tail wag, wag, wag, wagging a constant beat. Jumping up on the bench to sit beside me, her head nestled in my lap, Odyssey stretches and rolls into a belly up position so I can rub her pretty belly. Add affectionate to her list of attributes, as well as bouncy in play with other dogs in group, and you have a well socialized, gorgeous little girl who rocked her behavior assessment and is ready to begin the next part of her odyssey, with you, forever. Come meet our girl today.
