Lucky #1500! Clementine, now Brandy, was listed on Petfinder as a boxer/RR mix. This beautiful purebred ridgeless came into rescue and was foster for one day when she met Michelle, Curt, Lucy and Bailey - and it was an instant match. Bailey was happy to give up the responsibility of playing with 2 yr. old Lucy and Brandy was just what Lucy's been looking for. Brandy is the playmate with enough gusto to take the lead, but not be bossy!! The only reason Brandy didn't go straight into her new home was because Lucy needed a few more days to recover from a recent spay surgery - and to get her juices flowing for the non-stop play to come! So three days later - she went home and everyone is thrilled! Thanks to Tina at A Pets F.A.T.E. for looking out for Brandy, to Allen for offering his help, and to Pam for puppy sitting while Lucy got ready for her new sister!
