About Ivy

Meet Ivy, the quietest of her sisters, Lulu and NovaLee. She might sit back and watch at first, but she’s always up for a bit of playtime when things warm up. Ivy is still young and adjusting, so her gentle personality balances her playful streak. She’s currently not fully vetted due to her age, so her adopter should be located near Vass or Fayetteville to help her finish out her vet care with ease. Ivy gets along well with cats, dogs, and children, so she’ll settle in quickly with a welcoming home. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
