DESCRIPTION
Pumpkin is an estimated one year old dog. She weighs 40 pounds, which is a good weight for her. She looks like an Australian Shepherd mix. Her gorgeous black and white coat has been stained orange from our Davie County red clay. Pumpkin was brought in because she and her "brothers"? were helping themselves to a local farmers' chickens. She seems to get along well with the other dogs. She is very friendly and loving to people. Pumpkin is looking for a person or family who can keep her away from chickens and who understands the breed. Herding dogs are wonderful pets but you need to be aware of their needs. Pumpkin is up to date on vaccines, has tested negative for heartworm disease and her adoption fee includes a voucher for the mandatory spay and microchip.
