Plenty of Pets
Joni is a one-year-old bundle of sweetness.
The collie-pit bull mix bonds quickly to people and loves being around them. She’s great with other dogs and children. She likes cats but some of them might find her too playful. She’s loves to get outside and play and to snuggle up on the couch with her humans.
She’s not destructive and can be left alone for short periods. She’s house trained and crate trained but might have an occasional accident when she’s alone.
Joni weighs about 60 pounds and is spayed, vaccinated, treated for parasites and microchipped. She comes with 30-days of free pet insurance courtesy of 24PetWatch. Her adoption fee is $400.
If you think this girl should be part of your family, visit Coastal K9 Rescue Society’s website or Facebook page or email [email protected]
