Kokoro

Loves Park, IL

Size

Details

Good with kids, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Kokoro is 7 years old, and has been my emotional support dog and best friend through her whole life. We got her from a pet store at 8 weeks of age, and she is healthy and up to date on all of her vet care. She does have some anxiety, and some guarding behavior around food, which has led to 3 biting incidents in the past. Because of this risk, and having small children, we feel the best thing for her is a home with an experienced owner who has a quieter environment for her. This decision is devastating for us, but her well being is what matters to me. She is a loving dog, full of energy, and vocal as huskies tend to be.
