Meet Susie – Susie was adopted from Adirondack Save-A-Stray. She is approximately 5 &1/2. She was very timid when I adopted her. I take her to work every day and being around people has helped bring her out of her shell. She is a well behaved and calm dog. Susie only barks when she is happy to see someone. I adopted a cat two months after I got her, and they are best friends.
