Is anyone looking for a gorgeous, sweet girl to join their family? We are temporarily sheltering this gorgeous rescue dog and would like to find her a loving, responsible forever home soon.
"Pretty Girl" is a calm and timid sweet girl who is looking for the very best, loving home before the end of the year. She has ver short hairs, so you won't have to worry about much shedding. She is very quiet and sweet, and she doesn't appear to be a barker at all.
She'll need to be spayed, vaccinated, dewormed/parasited before she is adopted.
There is an adoption donation of 2000p, plus a 25kg bag of high-quality dog food which helps us continue to rescue and foster.
To meet Pretty Girl and to apply for adoption, please message here or whatsapp +524151044987.
If you cannot adopt, but wish to donate for her food and care and the food care of the other 2 rescue dogs we are sheltering, here is the link: https://bit.ly/3yxAM1N
