Swirl

Have you heard of the superhero Squirrel Girl? Well, this is not her. This is Swirl Girl!

Swirl came to us from our neighbors at SF Animal Care & Control which makes her a perfect city dog. She already knows the sights and sounds and smells of city living; now she just needs a person to take it all in with her.

Here’s what Swirl enjoys: Sniffing, rolling around in the grass, LOTS of toys, showing off her big smile. What can Swirl work on? Not much! She’s incredibly enthusiastic about the world, which makes her such fun to spend time with, and means that she may need continued leash training.

Do you want a lady full of love? Come get a Swirl of sweetness, humor, and pretty, pretty eyes!
