Do you like Candy? Of course you do. Candy is a loveable, playful, friendly, spicy gal of 11-12 weeks old. She was found in a wet ditch by a parking lot being bombarded by red wing blackbirds. Her foster family is really enjoying this little gal! She is up to date on her vaccinations, microchipped and wormed. She is NOT spayed yet but the adopter will get a $100 spay voucher to use at their vet and the adoption will be official after that. Adoption fee is $175 plus tax. For more information about Candy, call Mary at 218370-8461 or Dale at 218-370-9534.
