Luwanda URGENT!

Hi I'm Luwanda, I'm a special dog. My family did not know that though I guess. I have been neglected, it is very obvious. I do not think I have had a bath in my 5 years of life. My disposition is wonderful, I'm a very calm gal, fun-loving. I enjoy just hanging around while you do your own thing. I just want to be with you. I sure do love people, wish I knew why I'm a homeless dog now though, can't think of anything that I would of done wrong. Maybe this is for the best though. Now someone who really knows I matter can give me all that I have missed out on in my life so far. I promise you be a pleasant gal, and shower you with all my love. I spent Saturday at the PetSmart in Waterloo meeting all the people there. I was a big hit and everybody said how beautiful and sweet I am. I wasn't too sure of some of the dogs that came to shop and got into "my" space. I growled but still wagged my tail. I didn't want to seem rude but I'm not used to so many different dogs walking by. I also went to a groomer in anticipation of my day at PetSmart. He said I did great, nothing bothered me until he brought out the brush. I did not care for the brush, I don't have good memories in that department but with regular grooming I am sure I will grow to love it. Note: it is recommended that Luwanda be an only dog, probably no cats too although not sure about that. She would do best in a home with older children. She loves people and would be content to just sit at your feet, go for a walk, or go for car rides. She seems to be house trained. Luwanda is heart worm negative. LUWANDA IS NOT AT THE SHELTER. EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MEET THIS SWEET GOLDEN GIRL ARRANGEMENTS CAN BE MADE. Adopted from Pet's Playhouse in Cedar Rapids, IA 12-3-07- UPDATE: LUWANDA IS BACK WITH US BECAUSE HER FAMILY IS MOVING AND SHE CAN'T GO WITH THEM. LUWANDA IS STILL THE SAME SWEET GIRL SHE WAS BEFORE. SHE IS AN OLDER DOG (older then we first thought. She may be a bit hard of hearing and cataracts are just starting) SHE NEEDS A SPECIAL HOME AND NOT LIVING AT THE SHELTER. TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE LET HER DOWN, IT'S TIME SHE GETS A HOME SHE DESERVES. Little Paws Rescue in Lisbon 12-21-07
