Prairie is a sweet pup who was dumped on a gravel road and is now waiting for a loving family to take her home to her own little house. She is sweet and gentle and still getting accustomed to shelter life, but we hope she isn’t here long. She is a black and white mixed breed (not sure what) and currently weighs 13 pounds.
