Plenty of Pets
Kelly is an eight-month-old boxer/lab mix who needs help building her confidence.
She’s afraid of people when she first meets them, but once she knows someone is planning to hurt her she is affectionate and playful.
She’s not good with cats and is terrified of children. She barks and growls at other dogs, probably because of a lack of socialization.
She needs someone who is patient, will attend basic obedience classes with her, and help her become more comfortable with life.
To learn more about adopting Kelly, visit the Good Bones Dog Rescue website or Facebook page or email
