Kane County Animal Control's Adoptable Pet of the Week - Mitzi

​

Did you know that there are over 300 words for 'love' in canine?" – Gabrielle Zevin, American author & screenwriter

She was abandoned at a stone quarry before she wound up at Kane County Animal Control.

Obviously, someone thought that was the best place to leave an unwanted puppy. That way, no one has to take responsibility or make attempts to find a home for her. No commitments, easy.

The nice thing about a puppy, however, is that they have very short-term memories. What matters most to them is whatever is right in front of their nose, which is probably a squeaky toy or ball or someone's lap for a quick cuddle.       

And Mitzi, who is a 4-month-old spayed female, black and white Australian Cattle Dog-mix, absolutely loves squeaky toys and balls. She has a face that is offset by two deep brown eyes and a white speckled nose that wants to sniff everything! In fact, if you're not careful, Mitzi will just walk in front of you to sniff out whatever smell she's hunting down.          

Mitzi is at the perfect age to begin learning cues and commands. Whoever adopts her will need to take her to training where she can begin to learn how not to jump or pull when she's on a leash.

She gets a little over excited when she meets a new dog and has difficulty breaking away from the interaction. If it were up to her, she would never stop playing, never stop chasing the ball and never stop telling her side of her story.

When the day is done, she enjoys a cuddle or two from whoever is available because even though she's growing up fast, she needs to remind people that she's just a puppy that still has the need to know she's loved. Hugs, please!
