NAME: Reba
OWNER: Maureen
HOW THEY MET: I picked her out on petfinder.com. She was found wandering in the snow in Prince George's County in January 2007, was underweight, the owners didn't claim her and Partnership for Animal Welfare put her in a foster home in Columbia. I adopted her from there in September 2007.
AGE: About 3 years, 6 months.
HOME: Catonsville
BREED: Shepherd mix
MALE OR FEMALE: Female
BEST TRICK: She knows my car is approaching the house from about a half-mile away.
FAVORITE ACTIVITY: Taking a walk.
FAVORITE FOOD: Any kind of dog treat, but especially Iams biscuits.
FUNNIEST MOMENT: Several times a week, Reba will roll over on her back and stretch out her front paws in a reclining position. Then she'll just sleep like that.
AS SWEET AS KISSES: About a week after I adopted her, I noticed that Reba's white markings on her hind paws are both shaped like Hershey's Kisses. I call them white chocolate Hershey's Kisses, and this dog is definitely branded with sweetness. She has the sweetest, most adorable temperament, and that personality was noted in her profile on petfinder.com. When I mentioned the hind paw markings to her former foster parents a few weeks after I adopted her, they said they had never noticed their unique shape. When I was with Reba in a pet store several months ago, a woman exclaimed that her four paws looked like someone had dipped her in white paint.
IF RHEBA HAD A MOTTO, IT WOULD BE: Start every day with laughter and keep a smile on your face all day.
