Koko

I’ve recently had some changes in my work and living situation. I can no longer look after my pup Koko in the way she needs. I need to re-home her. She’s 10 months old and about 55 pounds. She’s spayed and has all her shots; housebroken and has received some training. She’s a good girl but very high-energy. She needs a yard to run around in and a lot of stimulation. She loves kids and is ok with other dogs. *I can also give you her kennel as well as several months of heartworm and flea/tic medications.
