THIS WEEK’S DOGGO. Pet of the week - Sister! Sister is a goofy, active, happy dog who loves sticks, cuddling, treats, and soft surfaces. She has wonderful house manners and is great with cats. Sister is very active and makes a great jogging and hiking partner, but she loves her spot on the couch too. Most of all, Sister loves other dogs!! Sister’s goofy interior is concealed by a slightly nervous exterior. She will require gentle keepers prepared to do a little work to earn her trust. Her foster family believes that a dog friend is an essential component of her everyday comfort. Respectful kids are a-ok! Sister is spayed, vaccinated and being fostered in South County. She weighs about 60 pounds and is about 18 months old. Santa’s Little Helper, anyone? For more information, please email mmwesttx@yahoo.com.
