Small dog surrendered to shelter since she can’t have puppies. She needs a home
A doe-eyed sweet girl pup is on the hunt for a new home after being left at a Pennsylvania shelter for a disheartening reason.
Brenda, a fairly young pup, was left at the Central PA Humane Society in Altoona because she can’t breed, the shelter said in an April 10 Facebook post.
“Brenda is a 2 year old female. She is a Boston Terrier mix, she is just hiding her ears! She was dumped after ‘not being able to reproduce,’” the shelter said.
This pup has a bunch of admirable qualities someone looks for when on the hunt for a new best friend, the shelter said.
“She can live with children. She has done well so far with cats, though she does follow them around out of curiosity and excitement! As far as a canine sibling, she seems to prefer smaller dogs like her,” the shelter said.
And her courage level is in top form too.
“She will not hesitate to square up with another dog, no matter how much bigger than her it may be! Brenda may be best suited as an only dog, but she can absolutely meet any new potential siblings!” the shelter noted.

Altoona is about a 95-mile drive east from Pittsburgh.
