WICC Pet of The Week

Today we have Jackie, a jumping bean of a puppy that is looking to find a home!

This 10 month old plot hound mix loves to play with other friendly dogs and cuddle with her humans. She will walk up to almost anyone with a wiggle and then roll over for belly rubs.

At just 10 months old she has a lot of life to live and love to give! Of course, at 10 months she is also the equivalent of a teenager. She’s full of energy and needs a LOT of exercise. Because she has been bounced around a lot as a youngster she is still working on basic house manners so will require a patient and experienced home that will provide outlets for her energy, consistency, and positive crate training. Due to her bounciness, she needs a home with children over 10.
