About Turtle

Turtle is a sweet brindle female who came from a challenging hoarding situation with nearly 20 other dogs. She’s now in a loving foster home where she’s quickly gaining weight and adjusting well. Turtle is quite vocal; she expresses her happiness, desires, and needs through her chatter. She’s making progress with her crate and potty training, and she gets along well with the resident dogs at her foster home. On the leash, she’s still learning, but she already knows how to sit, even if ‘stay’ is still a work in progress. This young pup is up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and has been dewormed. While she does well with dogs, she may not be suited for homes with cats or children. If you're interested in adopting Turtle, keep in mind that adoptions are usually limited to a 150-mile radius of Jonesboro, Georgia. Ready to make Turtle a part of your family?
