Mila needs a home

Hi! My name is Mila. I am eight months old and lots of fun! I am a Sheba Innu mix and get along with everyone, dogs, cats, people, birds, you name it! I have lots of energy but love to curl up on the couch with you. My foster mom says I am a good foot warmer at night too! I am very loving and would love to meet you! I have been spayed, up to date on shots and micro-chipped. If you would like to meet me or be a foster home to someone like me, call the Humane Society at 737-4042.
