(MASS APPEAL) – It’s time for Mass Appeal’s Pet of the Week and we’re introducing you to Crystal. Lee Chambers is here from Dakin Humane Society with more on this sweet girl.

Background

Crystal is a friendly, mellow pup who loves to play and go for walks but is also happy to chill. She appears house-trained and has previously lived with cats and other dogs. She’s enjoyed meeting other mellow dogs in the shelter. Like most pitties, Crystal has some issues with allergies/itchy skin and is on currently medication to keep her comfortable. She will likely need this medication long-term.
