Gone to the Dogs: A Sharpei-Beagle Mix and a Dachsund-Chihuahua Mix

Princess, a Sharphei-Beagle Mix Available from OPIN in Stamford.  Princess is a sharpei-beagle mix.  Does that make her a “sharbea”?  Or, maybe a “peigle”? No matter what you may want to call her, we call her sweet.  Princess is a perfect medium sized dog, about 35 pounds.   After five wonderful years in the only home she’s ever known, Princess was returned when her owner was forced to move and couldn’t take Princess along.  Princess will make an easy transition into her next home.  She is house-broken, leash-trained, and has a pretty low energy level.  Princess is a quiet dog.  She doesn't even bark when people come to the door!

To meet Princess or any of the other dogs (or cats) at our local animal shelter, please stop down any day at 201 Magee Avenue.  The shelter is open seven days a week from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm and for your convenience is open late on Wednesday evenings, until 8:00 pm.  For more information call Stamford Animal shelter at (203) 977-4437.  To see all the adoptable shelter pets, visit:  www.opinpets.org
