Autumn Is Princeton's Pet Of The Week

PRINCETON, NJ — Meet Autumn! She has been chosen as Princeton Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"I would like to nominate my yellow lab mix Autumn for Princeton Pet of the Week. We adopted Autumn from SAVE Animal Shelter 11 years ago. When she came to us, she was so scared of people she wouldn't touch the treats we gave her.

Since then, Autumn has learned to love our whole family and she will even greet guests with a wagging tail. Still an introvert, she has found several quiet corners in the house where she can retreat such as the bathroom attached to our mudroom and my dad's study.

Of course, our old lady has a little trouble getting up these days so when she doesn't want to leave one of her spots, she will start to loudly groan until one of us finds her and pets her."
