About this dog: Summer is a Finnish Spitz mix with maybe Chow, about 8 years old, spayed and current on all shots and rabies. When Summer was 4 years old she sustained a broken leg that was never treated (before she was rescued and adopted). Her leg is functional and does not cause her pain, but she does walk with a limp. This lovely lady is a wonderful family companion, she loves people and children, is very gentle and appreciative, and has a great sense of humor. She is GREAT with CATS however not so much with other dogs. Summer is house trained, has wonderful manners, alerts when someone is at the door. The ONLY problem Summer does have is she is not good with other dogs. She is aggressive with females and can't be trusted not to be aggressive with males... Summer needs a home where she is the only dog. She can’t be taken to dog parks, let off leash for walks in case another dog happens to be on the same street or around the corner. As long as Summer is the only dog in your home she will be loving and wonderful.
