Sweetie, currently in Stephenville, TX, has a heartbreaking story. She was one of six Anatolian/Heeler mix puppies abandoned at a local vet's office about a year ago. After being adopted by a city worker who loved her dearly, Sweetie's life took a turn when he was deployed and unable to keep her. Now back at the shelter, Sweetie is looking for a permanent, loving home. True to her name, Sweetie is a young and affectionate dog who thrives on human interactions and gets along well with other dogs. She’s house trained and accustomed to using a doggie door, making her a great fit for various households. While she walks well on a leash, she can be startled by loud noises and will instinctively flatten herself to the ground. Sweetie is spayed and fully vaccinated, including for rabies and bordatella, as well as being on preventatives for fleas, ticks, heartworms, and other parasites. She weighs around 45-50 lbs and has a lovely medium-length coat. Sweetie simply desires a caring companion to shower her with love. Could you be the one to make her dreams come true?
