Plenty of Pets
Zoey is a young dog who needs love and training.
She was surrendered because she’s a runner, but she wasn’t spayed and was tied outside often.
She is one year old, cat friendly, child friendly, and seems to get along well with other dogs, but she has chased free range chickens. She’s crate trained and doesn’t show any resource guarding.
She doesn’t know any commands yet, but she is being worked with.
Her adoption fee is $350, which includes her spay, vaccines and microchip.
To learn more about adopting Zoey, visit the Good Bones Dog Rescue website, Facebook page or email [email protected]
