MARION COUNTY, FL (352today.com) – Evie Jean dropped by the office late last week to say hello, and our staff fell in love with her amazing balance of puppy vibes and grown-up behavior.

Evie Jean came to Marion County Animal Services as a stray back in May. She’s a lab-hound-whatever mix of a mutt who is approximately a year and a half old. She comes in cautious, but once she realizes she’s in a safe place she becomes a playful mid-sized scamp.

She knows a few basic commands and loves to be part of a pack, running and playing with other dogs or maybe a gaggle of excited kids.

Look at those soulful eyes! She just wants to be loved.

If you’re interested in meeting with Evie Jean or perhaps setting up a play date with your own animals, visit Marion County Animal Services’ website or give them a call at 352-671-8700 today!
