Deena is a 3-year-old brindle that does well with dogs, although not so much with small dogs and cats since her gut instinct gets ahead of her. Otherwise, Deena has great manners. She knows three commands: sit, lie down and paw. She loves affection and rolls on her back for belly rubs. She loves to chase water from the outside hose. To meet Deena, call Joliet Township Animal Control at 815-725-0333 with any questions.
