10/13/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Oh Sunny– someone gave you a little too much kibble! As Sunny and I were walking today, someone stopped us to ask if “she had just had puppies,” to which I had to laugh when I responded “Actually, he’s a boy, and he’s just a little overweight!” This sweet boy was surrendered through no fault of his own (because his previous owner was having personal problems). Sunny’s previous owner tells us that Sunny loves all people, and lived with children aged 6 and older and got along just great with them. Sunny seems to be housetrained, doesn’t mind other dogs, and likes to go for slow, lazy walks. He’s a very gentle boy who walks perfectly on a leash and would do great with any adopter looking for a chill companion. Please come and see this cutie today!
