"CARIE HARTT" *PRE_SELECT* young German Shepherd "MCAS"

 MCAS needs to spay/neuter all dogs before adoption, especially the females and purebred dogs! Management is failing the dogs and the community.They have had years to resolve this issue and are creating a larger problem for homeless pets. .....WHAT are they thinking?? You can't help but worry, and wonder - will these adopted dogs be used by people for breeding?or have"unintended offspring" to contribute to more poor homeless dogs?...but...it's not the dogs' fault, and the dogs need good adopters!

 Well hello there, my name is Frozen! Or you might as well call me Olaf because I LOVE warm hugs! Im in that great age range where I love to go on adventures but am perfectly content to spend the rest of the day cuddling on the couch with you.
 
 I am a self-proclaimed squirrel hunter, so I would be better in a home with no cats or small roaming animals. BUT I do love other dogs, big or small, I dont discriminate! I currently live with two small dogs whom I get along with great but most weekends, I get to go to dog parks where I interact with all sorts of dogs with ease. I am kennel and potty trained but am trusted to roam the house at nighttime with no issues. If you love huskies but aren't so keen on the younger pups and their rambunctious ways, I am your girl!"
