Mindy was found running loose in November 2005 and picked up by a kill shelter. She was taken from there to a non-kill shelter on the Peninsula. They assumed she was 11 at the time. She obviously had numerous litters and although mannerly knew no obedience. I found her in May of 2006. In November of that year she earned her CGC and this year in March (10 months after I rescued her - and assuming she is currently 12 years old) she earned her Rally Novice title.
