Meet Connie

Connie is a super-special girl who is expected to give birth to puppies this week. She was just rescued from a MD kill shelter, where she was slated to be euthanized since she's a single mom who has pitbull in her (we're guessing she's also part Australian cattle dog (blue heeler)). Even if she hadn't been on death row, though, a shelter is no place to raise puppies so we couldn't leave this wonderful girl behind!

Connie is really sweet, both with people and with other dogs - in fact, she charmed the un-neutered male pitbull we tried her with yesterday and gave him lots of kisses! She has been temperament-tested and passed with flying colors. She's also good with (ignores) cats. She's an attentive and somewhat timid pup who just wants to please her people. She is amiable and engaging and would love to curl up in your lap for lots of hugs and kisses.

We'll be looking for a home for this fantastic girl and for her kids when they are ready to be adopted.
