Latke is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet This Week

She's shy.

Latke is a 2-year-old, 44-pound, female, Pit Bull mix.

She was a stray in Orange County. When nobody claimed her, she was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through FOCAS (Friends of County Animal Services).

Latke can be shy at first. Once she feels comfortable, she gets more energetic. Her new family will need to help her use her enthusiasm.
