Meet Tori! This mature lady is as sweet as pie. She’s around 9 or 10 years old and weighs about 50 pounds. She was given a clean bill of health from the vet. She’s very affectionate and loves all her human friends. Unfortunately, she is very dog selective and would do best in a home without other dogs or with an experienced owner who is comfortable doing slow intros with other dogs. She loves to zoom around the yard and enjoys long walks. She could use some help with her leash walking skills but has proven herself to be a great house guest. Don’t let her age discourage you from giving her a forever home.
