Adopt-A-Pet: Shandi

If Shandi looks familiar that is because -- sadly -- she was adopted once before and then returned to Lake Humane Society.

But one family's loss can be another's gain.

This beautiful boxer mix is five years old. She is great with children. In fact, the Lake Humane staff will often take her to educational presentations because she's such a good ambassador.

However, Shandi has less affection for cats and might be better matched in a house without any felines.

Shandi is playful, affectionate and has already stolen the hearts of the staff and volunteers at Lake Humane Society. I bet she could swipe yours too.

Like all the other animals at Lake Humane Society, Shandi is spayed and up to date on her shots.

Through the month of December, people can adopt dogs for just $50 (when they are usually $70 to $130.) Similarly cats of any age can be adopted at the shelter for $20. (They are regularly $50 to $115.)
