Meet Koko: The Adorable Shar-Pei Mix Ready for Adoption

Koko is a one-year-old Shar-Pei mix who’s been patiently waiting at the Warrick Humane Society for 117 days. Due to two cherry eye repairs, her adoption process was delayed, but now she’s all set to find her forever family.

Important Things to Know Before Adopting Koko

She’s fully vaccinated, dewormed, protected against fleas, ticks, and heartworms, and she’s spayed and microchipped.

Shar-Pei Personality: What to Expect with Koko

Koko does well with some other dogs, but a meet-and-greet would be best to make sure personalities match. She’s ready to bring her adorable wrinkles and lots of love to a new home!

Petting Zoos Within Driving Distance of the Tri-State

Anyone who knows me knows that I prefer animals over people most days. I tell my boyfriend all of the time that when we retire, I want a little plot of land with some cows, goats, pigs, chickens, and a whole lot of dogs. A girl can dream, right?

Sadly, since I can't have my own farm anytime soon, I guess I will settle for enjoying other people's animals, which means frequenting petting zoos and farms is pretty common for us. Luckily, I don't have to drive far to pet all the animals I can fit into a day.

From elephants to highland cattle to Clydesdales and a coatimundi, the tristate offers a wide variety of petting zoos that can be visited in a short day trip. Next thing you know, you'll be making your own list of animals to have on your own dream farm like me.
