History/Personality: Baby is a wonderful dog. Very loving and well mannered. She came to us through her owner's neighbors. She ran rabbits for her owner for 7 1/2 years and when she got too tired to do that anymore they decided to get rid of her - so the neighbors brought her to us to save her from a horrible fate. She loves to play in the morning and enjoys napping in the afternoon. Baby loves to take walks - she said to make sure we understood walks, NOT JOGS OR RUNS! Baby is a shelter favorite and stays in the front office and greets everyone. Baby deserves a chance to spend her remaining years in a great and loving home. Adoption Fee: $60.00
