>>Samantha (#434015) is a 2-year-old Labrador mix who was found as a stray when she parked herself on someone's porch. Sweet and playful, she would be an ideal pet for a single person or a family with children as she's happy to play or provide quiet companionship. >>Ditsy (#424615) This little black and white bundle of love plays well with others, even the foster family's dog. She has a good appetite and always uses her litter box. Now four months old, she's ready to be someone's forever friend.
