VAGABUNDA
Hi! My name is Vagabunda, and I DESPERATELY NEED a FOREVER home. I was tied up to a bench on the Ajijic Malecon in 95 degree weather in May. Despite being posted on Facebook, and all the comments made, no one came to save me. Finally, after several hours, a nice young man came and got me and took me to my Foster-Mom's. I would make the best companion for anyone. I have shown my Foster-Mom how loving I am and that I really need a lot of love too. I always put my head on her lap, wanting to be petted. If I allow her to stop petting me, I will lie on her feet to keep them warm. When we go out, I never let her out of my sight. Although I have some arthritis in a hip, i will run like the wind if you let me. I have a brand new leash and collar, plus a new bed that i can take with me. I am approximately 6 years old and have been recently spayed and have had all my shots.

I am working on my training, hoping for some security that I will never be abandoned again
