This sweet baby was found by a citizen and brought in to be scanned for a microchip. She’s very loving, adores people, and still has some teeth coming in. She responds to “Puppy,” and we’ve tried calling her by other suggested names, but she hasn’t reacted to any of them. Proof of ownership will be required at the time of pick-up, and she has a few unique markings that will help us verify the rightful owner.
