02 Dog of the Month: GYPSY
This is a beautiful medium-sized girl aged around 2-3 years old, with a lovely long cream coat. She was abandoned, so she can be a bit shy at first (and who could blame her?), but she warms up to people quickly. She gets along well with other dogs, and is sterilised and fully vaccinated. All she needs now is someone who can help her to trust and love again. If you would like to meet her, please contact the shelter at 084 752 5255 for English or 086 913 8701 for Thai or contact@carefordogs.org. Visit the website for further info at www.carefordogs.org.
