Breed:
Australian Cattle Dog/Retriever

Sex / Weight:
Female/Medium

Came to HSC: 1/8/2011

Here's pretty Perdita! Well, I will be even more pretty when my, ahem, "matronly" look goes away. You see, I just weaned my NINE puppies and boy, am I glad! Time for me to start my new life as a pampered pet. I came from another shelter, so not a lot is known about my past. Except that I got heartworms! The good news is that these are going to be treated by the good people of HSC and I should be ready to live my life worm-free soon.
