My story

　　No grinch can steal her spirit!Hey guys! My name is Cindy Lou and I am here to make your Christmas the most special ever! I am a 1 year old, 35 lbs, female Shepherd mix and have been spayed. I am from El Centro and have made San Diego home thanks to my lovely foster family. I have been hard at work and mastered crate and bathroom training and working on good leash walking skills. I know a ton of tricks and can be a total hoot at the holiday parties! I am a smart, funny, active gal and love to get plenty of exercise. My excited butt wiggle is a sight to behold! I look like a happy Christmas light! I can be initially shy with strangers, people and dogs, but understand quickly that I am safe. If I bark, just pop me a treat when I stop to continue my positive reinforcement training, please. I am very friendly with other dogs, and dont have experience with kids and kitties yet. I would actually make a great companion dog, and shine brighter than the star tree topper. I would do very well with an active and energetic family who has time to train me and mentally stimulate me with fun activities. I would do well with a medium sized dog too and that can help with any separation anxiety training too. When all done, let's snuggle in a cozy blankie, please? I would need a mostly-at-home person right now. If you think we can prevent the grinch from stealing the Christmas together, let's team up! My adoption fee is $450 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.
