Adopt a Pet |
Moon Pie, a five-year-old, 55-pound black-and-white bully breed mix, is patiently waiting for her forever home at an animal shelter in Olympia, WA.
She may take a moment to warm up to strangers, but once she feels safe, her gentle and loving nature shines through completely.
Moon Pie loves chasing tennis balls, rolling in the grass, and exploring trails — finding real joy in life's simplest moments.
While past reports flagged concerns around other dogs, shelter staff have observed calm, comfortable behavior around fellow kennel dogs — though a meet-and-greet with any resident pets is still recommended.
The $110 adoption fee covers spay or neuter surgery, microchipping, vaccines, deworming, and flea prevention — exceptional value for a lifetime companion.
Bully breeds like Moon Pie often wait longer than they deserve. Call 360-352-2510 to confirm her availability before visiting. Read More... |
