A volunteer writes:  When I think of Sheba, I see candy!  With those Milk Dud eyes, gum drop nose and chocolate kisses ears, she has the most delicious face I have ever seen!  And her petite little body is just icing on the cake! Sheba is so sweet, that in her former home, she used to sleep with the children, one as young as six.  She never has accidents and is described as quiet in the home.  With me, Sheba was a bit shy, but with a soft demeanor and presence.  She even let me put a Santa hat on her, and I can only imagine her kids playing dress up with her.  We passed both large and small dogs, and she was pleasant and mild mannered. She loves food and knows how to sit on command.  Sheba may not actually be made of candy, but she might as well be considering her sugary personality.  Ask to meet her today!
