Adopt A Pet: Dori

Featured in our Adopt-A-Pet segment this week is Dori!  Dori is around two years old and is mostly black with a splotch of white on her chest. She has beautiful brown eyes, and her right ear flops over while the left ear stands straight and tall! Dori came from a rural shelter and was rescued the morning she was to be euthanized.

Dori loves to go for walks, and is very smart, she listens to instructions and wants to please. She is housetrained and is quickly learning leash manners and other commands. She is as sweet as can be and one of her favorite activities is to sit close to you while being snuggled. She is up-to-date on her shots and ready to be adopted. To find out more about Dori and to adopt this sweet dog visit www.animalrescue.net .
