Lots of puppy love spread throughout the facility! Dasani came to visit us from Safe Haven of Iowa County. She was so excited to see some familiar faces, and to meet a few new ones. She was very well behaved, gave lots of kisses, and enjoyed the extra pets, and snuggles. This was our second visit with Dasani. She is a great pup with lots of love to give!
