ADOPTED!!  Baby is an independent, easy-going, friendly young girl who loves walks around the neighborhood just as much as curling up next to you for a nap. Though likely she began her life as a beloved family member, she somehow found herself as a stray, then sharing a small kennel with other dogs in a high-intake municipal animal shelter. Now safe in a volunteer foster home, she is doing great meeting new dogs and working to lose a few extra pounds she likely acquired from too many meals of table scraps, an over abundance of treats, and no exercise.  She is leash-trained, crate-trained, and rides well in the car. She enjoys chewing on her Nylabone, but would prefer human attention over toys any day. Baby gets along well with other dogs and loves to go on leashed walks with the family. She tends to bark at the cats she sees but hasn’t had an opportunity to be ‘up close and personal’ with one yet. She does fine with children.  During the day while her foster parents are at work, she enjoys napping in her secure crate. However, at night, she really wants to sleep near you! And since she lies right down at the foot of her foster mom’s bed and doesn’t move a muscle, she usually gets her wish. Baby will need a ‘forever’ family who is willing to stick to her diet plan which includes daily leashed walks, a strict prohibition of people food, and limited treats. It is very important to Baby’s overall health that she lose her excess weight and keep it off for the rest of her life.  Baby is approximately 18 months old and weighs about 17 pounds. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped.  Baby would be a wonderful addition to just about any family.   For more photos of Baby in her foster home, visit her album often for updates:
