Let's go for a Walk: Dog of the Week

Hey! Hey! Hey! Come by and see me, why don't you?

Hiya, hello, howdy!  

Oh, I’m just so excited I can’t contain myself!

My name is Alicia and I’m a boxer mix -- a boxer mixed with pure excitement that is!  I am an enthusiastic young lady that is so full of love. I love people. I love going on walks. I love to play and I love attention.

I’m so glad rescued me from a county pound. As soon as they met me, they knew I deserved a second chance. I make sure I let all the volunteers know how grateful I am by giving them the best greeting when they take me on walks.  

I’ll admit it though; I’m only happy 99 percent of the time.  You should see the sad puppy dog face I give when my walk is done. What can I say? I love people and am happiest when I’m with them and saddest when I see them go.
