Plenty of Pets
Boudicca, aka Bo, is a one-year-old Maremma sheepdog weighing in at approximately 72 pounds.
She’s cuddly and friendly and has great house manners, except for the occasional hovering and begging when food is involved. She is very food motivated but not aggressive or protective around food.
She is house and crate trained and has great manners outside, although she’s still working on leash training. She needs long walks and time outside.
She’s good with people of all ages but may be better with older children as she sometimes needs to be reminded not to jump up. She gets along with other dogs but hasn’t been cat tested.
BO 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 Bo could be the new family member for you, contact Coastal K9 Rescue through Facebook, the website or email [email protected].
