This one-year-old mixed breed gal, and her adorable pop-up ears, have captured the hearts of everyone at ITV, and now they're on a mission to find her the perfect home!

One of the first things you'll notice about SUGAR is just how intelligent she is. She quickly learned the routine at the rescue and is easily manageable on a leash during walks. When playing, Sugar's attention is always on her human companions, checking in with them, and ensuring they're having as much fun as she is. SUGAR is a true people-dog and loves making new friends!

All of the animals at ITV are examined by a veterinarian, given age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, spayed or neutered, and FIV/FeLV-tested.

If our pet of the week isn’t the right fit for your home, please visit It Takes a Village to see the other rescues that need to get fostered and adopted. And don't forget about their RENT A DOG Program. A quick fill form and copy of your photo ID will allow you time out with one of ITV's vetted shelter dogs. These day dates are great for the rescues - it gets them some exercise and new information to help us get them adopted. It’s been a big hit- so don’t miss out!
