Nicole

Description

Successfully rehomed by Somerset Regional Animal Shelter

Class will tell. With her elegant gait and feathered tail, a walk around the block with Nicole becomes a stroll along the Seine. That makes sense, because the Briard breed comes from France. Wikipedia also tells us that Briards are sometimes referred to as "a heart of gold wrapped in fur"....

which sounds like they must have met our Nicole. She's far from being a puppy, yet this headturner's sprightly step led someone to recently mistake her for being one. Easy to handle, great with everyone, Nicole recently lost both her owners, but she's one resilient grande dame. She'd love for you to come visit her Tuesday thru Saturday afternoons (no RSVP needed!) or call/EMail the shelter to learn more about her..
