Kisses A500197 • 3-yr-old • Female • Boxer mix • Pen 22 • Arrived 11-Feb-2008

9/2008 UPDATE After being adopted by a family on June 6th, Kisses was returned in mid-September when they moved to a new house. As happens so often, pitbulls and boxers were not allowed. The family returned Kisses with painted toenails and good behavior notes. We're sure they had no idea she would be killed just 2 days later. Unfortunately, the volunteers did not find out about her fate until it was too late to do anything about it. Please remember that returned pets are not always returned to the adoption program, and they can be killed the same day they are surrendered.

The people who used to have Kisses saw her as a puppy-making machine. We see her as a sweet girl with a personality all her own who's full of love for people. Kisses has taken an especially tender and motherly interest in the puppies here at the shelter. Kisses is eager to please and easy to handle in her pen. She can be a strong pull on the leash, so she will benefit from the positive training that no one ever bothered to give her. Kisses gets along with submissive dogs, but may need some help learning to respond appropriately to assertive dogs. Low cost training options are available for Kisses. True to her name, Kisses is a very special girl who will bring a lifetime of sweet smooches to her forever home.
