Plenty of Pets
Angel has recovered from her spay and is ready for her forever home.
Angel is a three-year-old girl who is very affectionate with people and playful with other dogs.
She takes treats gently, knows basic commands and enjoys walks- although she pulls a bit on leash. She enjoys playing, and is hard on soft and squeaky toys.
Angel sees small animals like birds, rodents and cats as prey, so she needs a home without any of these pets.
To learn more about Angel, contact Good Bones Dog Rescue through the website or Facebook page or email [email protected]
