I’m a happy girl whose tail never stops wagging … but I’d be truly joyful if you would take me home and love me forever! Even at 11 years old, I love to take walks and am well-mannered on a leash. Plus I’m cute as a bug! Please come visit me at the Quebec Street shelter or call (303) 751-5772. View adoptable dogs.
