Poochi

Poochi is about 2 1/2 years old (Born 12/07) in these pictures taken June 20, 2009.  She was found running the streets by some people who called the vet the next day to see who owned her.  Poochi was wearing a rabies tag but when the vet called the owner, he was told that the person no longer wanted Poochi.  Not wanting to just turn this sweet little girl over to a kill shelter, the people who found her contacted LP and agreed to foster Poochi until we placed her.

Her foster parents say that Poochi is very sweet, good natured, and playful. She is also very smart and a quick learner. They have not let her inside so we do not know if she is housebroken, but they do know that she LOVES going for rides in the car and LOVES playing in the water. Playing with other dogs too is a lot of fun for her.  Poochi does seem to have a lot of energy so she will need a good size yard to run in or a family who takes her for long walks and plays with her.  She really enjoys getting attention from people and goes right up to strangers.  Poochi ignored the cat she was introduced to, but it was in a kennel so we do not know what she would do if she saw one running.  She does well on a leash and doesn't have any food aggressions. 

Poochi tested negative for Heartworm/Lyme/Ehrlichiosis and has been on HW preventative.  She weighed 15 pounds when she went to the vet on 7/3/09.
