We are so excited to feature LADY SHORTCAKE, our awesome, amazing lady waiting for her next wonderful home. Lady Shortcake is a young, adult female dog with a good amount of wonderful energy that has been with us at the shelter up for adoption since May 9th. She’s an energetic gal, slightly excitable around other dogs but very friendly, responds well to treat-training and eager to learn better manners. She is very ready to find her new home.

“Just like Eliza Doolittle, I’m working hard on becoming a proper lady. For now at least, I would prefer to be your one-and-only canine companion. I get a bit excitable around other dogs, but hey – I’m working on it. If that sounds like something you can commit to, let’s talk. I’m still young, a bit over one year old and a muscular 55 pounds.  I’m super friendly and really motivated to learn.  I just need a good teacher. As the Lady Doolittle put it many years ago, “I don’t want no gold or no diamonds! I’m a good girl, I am!” I’m just looking for a home where I can be me.”

Sophia is one of the dogs included in our “Pick Your Price” promotion we have going on for the entire month of June! “Pick Your Price” month means that you determine the value of the deal you get when you adopt from us.

You determine what you pay this month, so come pick out your new best friend soon! For more information, click here.

“I’m ready to play! Are you? I’m a sweet, friendly, and lovable girl ready for her forever home! I LOVE treats, chasing after toys, and meeting new friends. I’d love a home where I can learn some basic manners and have a routine because I am ready to learn! I’d also love plenty of opportunities to explore my environment. Let’s go on some fun walks together!”

Remember with the Pick Your Price promotion, Sophia’s adopters can choose what they want to pay. It’s a win-win!
