Glancing through the volunteer's log I noticed that Miranda seemed to be on everyone's A list; very sweet, great on the leash, just wonderful,etc. She had not yet had a volunteer walk, and I could not resist her face! As I met her at the back of her kennel she was jumping up and down completely thrilled. She is a beautiful brown Rottweiler mix, about six years old and quite a few pounds overweight, so she packs a lot of momentum. I crossed my fingers that she was as well behaved as her reputation suggested and opened her door. She was wildly excited and squirming all over but sat immediately on command, no treat required! Once outside our first stop was the exercise yard where fetch and general racing around made up for her sedentary morning. She is good at fetch, sit, and come but needs more work on down and shake hands.
She is great on the leash, no pulling at all and so happy, her tail just flops back and forth all the time. She is very affectionate, responding to pets plus nuzzling and pushing you with her head when you are sitting beside her. According to her profile she also gets along with other dogs and cats. She is a total sweetie, it is easy to see why she is such a volunteer favorite. Since she will do well in so many types of families let's hope she finds her's soon.
