Lacee

Lacee has been at OC Animal Care for about five months after coming in as a stray. Staff notations say she’s a shy but sweet pet who does best when she’s around other dogs.

Descriptions also say she does great on walks and gets very excited when she gets to play with other pets. Staff recommend Lacee for a family with experience reading dog body language who are also knowledgeable about giving dogs enough personal space when handling.

Lacee is currently available for adoption, and she’s eligible for the shelter’s September adoption promotion, which is waiving adoption fees for all dogs 25 pounds and over. She is also available as part of the shelter’s foster-to-adopt program.
