DESCRIPTION
When I arrived, I was over 50 lbs heavier than I should be, but I’ve been working hard on my health and have already lost 15 lbs since coming to the shelter! I’m good on a leash and housetrained, which means I already have some great skills under my belt. I also previously lived with small dogs, so I have experience sharing my home with little canine friends. I can be a little shy when I first meet people and may need some time to warm up.
