*EDIT*

I was at the pound walking dogs today and have a picture and a few more comments to add.

She is SUCH a great girl.

Not too sure how well she’ll react to other dogs though in the kennel and while walking she is VERY interested and barks her head off but doesn’t really posture or show overt aggression so I dunno.

The good news is the head of Canine Crusaders (a rescue that works with the pound - who I’m fostering ace for) is willing to pull her and has her name on her as of now, but she have no where to put her. She already has all the kennels at her home filled and a stack of crates in her house full of recent pulls and no open foster homes.

Still keeping my fingers crossed for this kid.

IF you are interested PLEASE contact the pound from her petfinder page above or Canine Crusaders at http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/OH673.html

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN TEMPORARILY FOSTERING HER PLEASE CONTACT CANINE CRUSADERS!
