Plenty of Pets
Neil is a seven-year-old Bichon Frise who is ready for a new life as a pet.
Neil spent most of his life as a stud in a breeding program and is not used to being a pet. He’s working on house training, is good with other dogs and ignores cats. He has no interest in toys. Neil is crate trained.
He only has three teeth left, but they’ve been recently cleaned.
Neil has been neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and microchipped. He comes with 30 days of free pet insurance.
His adoption fee is $350.
If you’re interested in having Neil join your family, visit Coastal K9 Rescue Society’s website or Facebook page or email [email protected]
