Great Pup needs new home!

We had a client drop off her dog because her landlord is no longer allowing her to have her at home. Her name is Sierra, she's a 6 year old Doberman and super sweet. She's not agressive at all - she spends all day in social play with the other pups here, she has great manners - doesn't jump or pull, and looooves any attention you give her. She doesn't even bark! She's up to date on all her shots, and of course spayed. She's registered with the AKC and we have all her pedigree papers.

How are dog people and cat people different?
By Elizabeth Landau, CNN

CNN - According to a team of experts at the University of Texas in Austin, ....turns out that the "dog people" -- based on how people identified themselves, not on what animals they actually own -- tend to be more social and outgoing, whereas "cat people" tend to be more neurotic but "open," which means creative, philosophical, or nontraditional in this context.
 

Look at our new friend boarding with us this week.
