Plenty of Pets
Loly is a six-year-old girl who is ready for a forever home.
She is clicker and positive reinforcement trained, knows basic commands and loves camping and riding in a cart behind a bicycle.
She is anxious at times and would do best in a home where she is the only pet. She’s good with children, but may forget not to jump, so any children in the home school be school-aged.
Loly is crate trained but is also good in the house when left alone.
She’s a loving girl who thinks she’s a lap dog.
