Pet of the week: Priscilla

 

Can you tell that Priscilla is a good listener? Just look at those beautiful ears.

One year old Priscilla is a Shepard/mix; white with brindle spots. She is driven to please when she receives positive reinforcement; in other words, treats.

Priscilla loves to run in the play yard and socialize with her handlers.  She likes to begin her walks with hugs.

Priscilla gets very excited when she sees people. For this reason she is not a good match for a home with young children. And, cats are not her favorite things.

When Priscilla hears the words, “Want to go for a ride?” she sits at attention and waits for the car door to open. She would be a great travel buddy for someone that drives long distances and needs a friend to talk to along the way.
