About Black Widow

Black Widow is a bright, eager young lady who loves to learn and to please. She's spent most of her life with us at Newton County Animal Control, while many of her siblings have already found homes. Black Widow quickly mastered our obstacle course, showing off her agility and enjoyment during walks. Although she enjoys water, she prefers just dipping her toes in. Her favorite pastime is playing with her Jolly ball, running around dribbling it with her mouth, relishing every moment outside. After an energetic play session, you’ll find her curling up on her bed in the silliest positions as she snoozes until dinner time. This sweet girl needs to be the only animal in her new home, as she thrives best when she can be the center of attention. With her high prey drive, she’s looking for an adopter who understands her needs. She walks well on a leash and knows basic commands like sit and stay. Black Widow is ready to find her forever home; could it be with you?
