Adoptable Pet of the Week
Colleen
Colleen is a petite long-haired Dachshund mix, weighing only 7 lbs. This 4-yr-old spayed female is looking for her forever home. She was abandoned at the Santa Barbara County Shelter and spent a little overnight time with one of our volunteer families where she quickly became a favorite. Colleen is the perfect lap dog, and she is also playful. She is completely comfortable and happy being in your arms and she gives lots of kisses. She gets along well with other dogs, but we think she would secretly enjoy it if she were an only “dog child” because she likes having a one on one relationship and will focus all her love and attention on you. So if you are looking for that special relationship, Colleen is your girl.
