CT Humane Society Pet of the Week
This week I wanted to introduce you to Giselle. A 3 month old Mountain Cur/Lab mix. Giselle and her siblings came to us VIA a Bissell transport to the north east. She is brindle ( a black and brown marble) with a white flash on her face. She is very sweet and wiggly when she gets to know you. Giselle can be skittish of new things or people so we are trying to build confidence and introduce her to new things in a positive way. We always suggest puppy classes for our adopted dogs, and of course you want to seek positive based classes to get them on the right track.
If you want to hear more about Gisselle or any of her friends here at CT humane visit us online at cthumane.org or give our Westport branch a call to speak to our adoption counselors.
