Chrissy is an Irish name, which means follower.  That suits this strawberry blonde well.  Chrissy is this week’s Farm n Friend Veterinarian Pets of the Week.

Chrissy, Log #512406 is one of our more mature shelter pets. She is likely between 8-9 years old. She appears to be a shepherd/collie mix and is a complete lovebug!! She came to us with heartworm disease and we treated and placed her in the Puppies for Parole program to recover and learn a few manners while she was there. Chrissy LOVES people, but is not too enthusiastic about playing with other dogs. While she is a little older, she still has a spunky, active personality. If you would like to give this girl a warm, comfortable home for her remaining years, please fill out an application and call our volunteer Kathy to set up a meet and greet 816-752-2295. Chrissy has a LOT of love left to give.  Come meet Chrissy today!  Or, see other pets up for adoption at petforu.com.  For more information, call the St. Joseph Animal Shelter at 816-271-4877.

Once again, we would like to thank our sponsor, Farm n Friend Veterinary Services for all they do to keep this program up and running. Farm n Friend has three locations to better serve you and your pets: Cameron, Gallatin, and Hamilton.

Senior dogs are great for first time pet owners, because they’ve already out-grown  the habits that can make get a puppy such a challenge.
