Pet of the Week: Summer

Mar 19, 2014

Our Pet of the Week this week is Summer! She is a five year old blonde terrier mix. She’s a sweet girl who is sometimes nervous of bigger dogs, so we recommend a home with other small pets or no pets at all. As always, we recommend a meet and greet. Summer is very affectionate and playful. She is already spayed and ready to join her Forever Family right away. If you or someone you know would like to be a part of Summer’s Forever Family please stop by our shelter to meet her Monday – Saturday between 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
