Cinnamon is Worth a Second Look!

Cinnamon is a Vizsla - American Staffordshire Terrier Mix who arrived on 8/19/12 with Tony (and she's always looking for him -- missing him terribly). 

Cinnamon seems to have been the more sensitive of the two, and is coming around slowly with the help of volunteers.  She no longer is sulking in the corner of her kennel, and is coming to enjoy her walks with, and TLC from, all.  She is a bit fearful at first, but we know it will take just a little time to gain her trust. 

This just isn't a place for a lady, and she certainly is one -- sweet and loving and oh-so-gentle. Cinnamon is 73 pounds and 21 inches in shoulder height.  Not quite sure what her mix is and hope to do a DNA test soon.  Please come down to the Shelter to meet her!

The Shelter is open 7 days a week from 8 am to 4 pm, and late on Wednesday evenings (for OPIN's free dog training at 6:30 pm -- no appointment necessary!).

OPIN is fundraising for a better-than-ever new City Shelter, matching the City's funds. Donations may be made online and marked for the "New Shelter." Visit us at www.opinpets.org, or email us at: outreach@opinpets.org.
