Notes: Puppy is an energetic curious girl who likes people and gets along well with other dogs. She should do well with children because she is gentle and not a jumper and weighs 40-45 pounds. She has been house trained in the past but cannot hold out in the shelter and will need to re-learn. Puppy loves long walks where she can explore her surroundings and find out what other dogs have passed that way. She looks forward to a forever home with an active family who want to take her for lots of walks and hopefully a fenced yard where she can run and play with another dog or some kids.
