Name: Candice, 2-year-old female
ID: A353724
Breed: Lab/Akita mix

All I want for Christmas is a home for the holidays!

I came to the shelter as a stray in September, have made a great impression on our evaluator and staff and am busting to make a great impression now on you! They say I’m a fun bundle of energy and my athleticism would make me a natural for agility.

Naturally, I’m food-motivated, so positive reinforcement helps me train oh-so-fast. My knowledge is still pre-K so you’ll need to reward me a lot  I won’t mind it a bit. With time, patience and love, I’ll soon be a college grad! An adopter with an active lifestyle will suit me best.
