Most of the dogs in our kennel will greet everyone with a bark, hello, but not Shirley Temple. Residing in the second kennel, she stands quietly wagging her tail. Her brown eyes fixed on the people walking by, begging for a chance at a new home. Looking for someone to overlook her imperfections, she desperately is looking for that special family or person to give her a new
leash on life.
A beautiful miniature poodle with apricot curls and a personality that surpasses her looks, if that is even possible, she will wait. Shirley Temple, rescued from a local municipal shelter is used to waiting; she waited for Yucaipa Animal Placement to pick her up from the other shelter and now for us to help her find the right home. At eight years of age she still has many years left to love and is all the wiser for them.
Upon arrival to our shelter an exam with resident veterinarian, Charles E. Irvin DVM revealed that little Shirley Temple has a heart murmur and high blood pressure. Saddened by the news, YAPS explored every possible option to find an inexpensive medication that will effectively help her. Currently her medications average less than 50 cents a day, about $15.00 a month, which is minimal compared to the joy and love that she will bring to those willing to give her a chance.
Shirley Temple is ready and waiting for her new home. She has been fixed, microchipped, current on all vaccines, and has even had her teeth cleaned. Please consider a place in your heart and home for this sweet little gal today. For more information on Shirley or ways that you can help her if you are unable to provide her with a home, please contact YAPS today at (909) 790-1440.
