.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- Old Madam was surrendered when her owners moved. She’s not an overly confident dog, so will need time to bond. She is rude and confrontational with other dogs, so she’d be best being the only canine at home. Due to her low sociability and age, it’s best if she goes to a home with […]
