This doe-eyed, feminine beauty has been christened Prada for her fashionable coat and demure personality!  Prada, a 7 year old charmer, was dumped by her owner when their landlord threatened to evict them.  Rather than search for an alternative for this loyal companion, she was taken to a cold county shelter.  We rescued Prada on her last day -- as she left the shelter, her tail was wagging and her head was held high!

We are just getting to know our sweet fashion maven, but she rode in the volunteer's car with the best manners along with another dog who was quite a bit more vocal - she never turned a hair.  Prada is currently with our veterinarian being spayed and given a clean bill of health - she could stand to gain a few pounds.  Prada appears to be just fine with other dogs.

In spaying Prada, we discovered that she was pregnant with only one puppy in her belly that was unusually huge.  Unfortunately, the pup did not make it.  Prada is now in a foster home fully recovered and loving every bit of her new life.  She is very well mannered, gentle and absolutely sweeter than cotton candy.  We’ve discovered that when it’s time for her meals, she loves to have “company” while dinning.  She also enjoys watching the Animal Planet, however when an Animal Shelter was shown she growled and started to bark at the TV.

Prada is happiest when she is at home with her family.  She has an exceptionally sweet disposition and is very kind and loving.  The love that she demonstrates will fill up any room size.  She is a little shy when you first meet her, although after the first few minutes she warms up to you in a flash. The first thing she does is extend her forehead and then her paw.  This is her signal that she would welcome any affection you would like to give her.  Prada is a 110% proof love bug and is truly warmhearted. 

The first few days we’ve had Prada, we realized that she is a little unsure of tile flooring.  She will only walk on tile if you put her leash on, she feels secure this way.  Little by little as she builds her overall self confidence she starts peeking out of the bedroom and makes baby steps onto the tile floor.   She is excellent on a leash and is great on recall.  Of all the dogs we’ve fostered Prada is probably the sweetest dog we’ve ever had the opportunity to care for.  She’s got a gorgeous coat and she has the most beautiful eyes filled with warmth and love. All she wants in life is to be loved the way she loves you.

Prada will do well in a quiet home, preferably with people that work from home.  She weighs about 65 pounds.
