About Whiskey

Meet Whiskey, a lively and affectionate mixed breed girl weighing 60 pounds. At 6 years old, her medium-length, brown and white coat complements her big, expressive ears that perk up when she's curious. Whiskey may take a little time to warm up to new people or places, so gentle introductions are key. Once you're friends, she delights in neck scratches and belly rubs, often rolling over to show her playful side. Daily walks, lounging on the couch, and playtime with her favorite squeaker duck are some of her favorite activities. She shares her space with a cat in her previous home, so with the right introduction, she might be able to coexist peacefully with one again. If you think you can provide Whiskey with the loving home she deserves, reach out to the shelter for more details and a chance to meet her! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
