Pet of the Week: Brenda

Brenda is proof that good things really do come in small packages.

Brenda is a ten year old, Pomeranian. Shortly after her arrival at Responsible Pet Care her caregivers learned that she is a special dog. Brenda has the ability to make people smile. Every time she leaves her kennel and is walked through the shelter whoever is around will stop to talk to her. Her cute personality lights up the room.

Another good thing about Brenda is that she is friendly and she loves to be held. She has gotten along well with other dogs at the shelter and cats don’t seem to be an issue with her.

Brenda always has a smile. She is ready to be pampered and put a smile on the face of her new, best friend.
