Featured Pound Puppy |
|
Koloa is a sweet cattle dog mix, about 50 lbs. and 2 years old. She was a great momma to the 4 healthy pups in our Hawaii Litter and is now ready to find her forever home. She is a real love and very gentle. She loves to hug and cuddle and lounge in the sun, but soccer is her big talent!
For more info about Koloa, please email us or visit the Pound Puppy Rescue website. |
