Comet is looking for his forever home. He is believed to be a Chihuahua mix, estimated at 1-2 years old, and is a small/medium dog (around 25 lbs). He is already neutered.
Comet is a bundle of energy, and LOVES to be with people. He will be the type of dog who would enjoy spending lots of time with his owner. He has been good with people, and is good with other dogs after he gets to know them. Due to his high energy, he is not recommended for a home with very young children. Comet is leash trained, and will ride in the car. Overall, he is a very expressive and happy guy who is ready to get out of the shelter and into his forever family.
Comet will go to his new home vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, with a voucher for a free rabies vaccine and a nutritional package from Urban Dogg.
It is $25 to give him A forever home.
If you would like to meet Comet, please call Animal Control at 417-259-9180.
