TWIGGY – Adopted 10/13/08
This is a pose from my latest photo shoot, the photographer said to think of my future family to get just the right expression. I was wondering if you would like to take me for a walk? I'm very good on a leash and I am happy to walk with anyone. The staff at ADL think I'm house trained. Adopted on October 13th, 2008! View available pets at www.adltexas.org
QUEENIE – Adopted 12/28/08
If you take me home, we would get along great. You can teach me all sorts of new things. We could go for walks together. It would be just you and your special girl. If you want to bring someone along, that's okay, too. I'm not too big, so I could crawl into your lap if you want me to. Adopted on December 28th, 2008! View our available pets at www.adltexas.org
