Meet Angelica! This lovely girl came to Muttville because her previous owners could no longer care for her. Luckily, she is very well adjusted and is happy no matter what. She has made herself right at home and is a social and sweet girl. Angelica is slightly vision impaired but can see about 4 feet in front of her. Despite this, she gets around very well and is very adventurous. Angelica does not startle easily and gets along perfectly well with all dogs. She is also affectionate and loves people and going for walks. We know this sweetheart will make a wonderful companion!

Angelica is about 9 years young and weighs 10 pounds.

Here is what Angelica’s foster had to say-

Angelica is a pretty quiet dog. She is very loving and will want to snuggle up against you on the couch. She has a low activity level, usually sleeps most of the day. However she loves walks, which we do 2-3 times a day. She is kind towards other dogs she passes by on the street and has no problem with other dogs in the house. She is house trained but needs to be taken out a few times a day. She has a good appetite. She loves to hang out and snuggle on the couch and will sleep in her dog bed. She also appears to be kennel trained and loves a kennel.

Angelica is a sweetie! She loves to be pet, cuddle and be with her person. She likes people and other dogs. When you’re home she’s happy napping in her bed or hanging out as a lap dog. She is low energy and likes slow walks, where she can sniff around and explore. She is friendly with other dogs. She does need a bit of extra attention on walks or navigating around new places, but is great about staying close and following your voice. She is potty trained and pee pad trained.

Angelica is a sweet natured, chill dog –

- excited and prancy when she knows she is going out, easy to harness up, walked with my friend’s dog even though he was not as friendly to her. She’s a pretty good walker , not fast but has endurance for her age. She likes to sniff stuff, especially greenery and grassy areas. Park areas are ideal for her.

- loves the lap, a little bit of a velcro dog.

-quiet, almost never barks;

-slept through the night on my bed.

-Small appetite but can be also a picky eater though, except for cheese which she loves; more of a grazer than a fast gobbler. Doesn’t seem to drink much; pees small amounts.

-Despite poor vision, she can slowly negotiate stairs up and down, one step at a time, as long as the height of the steps is not too big.

- she looks at you and comes when called “Angel” (her original name in her previous home) not Angelica.

Watch her on a walk!
Watch Angel happily greet her volunteer friend!
See how she gets around
Angelica is a very poised model!
