Canine Spotlight


   
Speckles - Female;
1 year


 Personality Profile: Hi!  My name is "Speckles!"  I am a mixed breed female who will be 1 year old on March 10!  My sister Minnie and I have been in foster care since we were born.  We came to the APS in hopes of finding a family to call our own.  We are very sweet and loving.  We have always been kept in the home so we are house-trained and crate-trained.  We are great with other dogs, cats, and children.  Our hobbies include playing with lots of toys, running and walking on a leash or in a back yard, playing fetch, and cuddling on the couch!  Mainly we just want to be wherever you are!  We are very energetic and need lots of attention and exercise.  We do not require being adopted together, in fact, it would be wonderful to be top dog!  Come see us at the APS and give us a chance to make your house a home!
