Plenty of Pets

Ember is a high-energy dog who would make an ideal pet for an active person.

She’s about five years old and weighs a little more than 40 pounds. She’s very strong, but can also be gentle and loving.

She’s still working on her manners so a home where children are at least 12 would be best. She hasn’t been cat tested yet but does get along with other dogs. She can be quite vocal at times and she loves long walks, runs and playing with a ball. She’s house trained, spayed and vaccinated. Ember’s new person will need to attend obedience classes with her.

If you think this sweet girl should be part of your family, visit the Animal Rescue Coalitions website or Facebook page or email [email protected]
