Octavia is a rottweiler/Staffordshire terrier mix who loves belly rubs and going on walks. She adores being around people, and more than one admirer has been overheard calling her a lovebug. Octavia is ready to be a devoted and lively companion. She’s affectionate, full of energy, and always eager to be by your side. She’s a really smart girl who already knows "watch me" (staying focused on her human amidst distractions), "sit,” "down" and, of course, the best game known to dog kind ... ”fetch!” Despite her brains, beauty and ability to make new friends, Octavia has been at the shelter more than one year, watching other dogs go home before her. Octavia is part of the long-term shelter dog Valentine’s month special — $14 adoption fees, complimentary $140 Pet Food Express merchandise card, free six-week training series and more. Stop by Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA to meet Octavia ID# A953428 or call (650) 340-7022 with questions. Visit www.phs-spca.org for more information.
