This week's Big Country Critter:
You bet your “Lucky” star, this girl is ready to find her home! Lucky, a 3-year-old female Heeler, is a snuggle bug with hugs and mooches to give. Zooming around the yard, she will play fetch with herself, tossing it up in the air only to catch it and start the process all over again! She has several tricks in her bag and enjoys showing them off any chance she gets. She likes kids, okay with cats if they don’t run, but needs to meet canine friends as she can be a bit picky with them. Come see if it is your Lucky day!
