Call her “Zoey the Trailblazer,” and she’s one of ours, Delmarva! Zoey DiPasqua, of Salisbury, is only 17 years old, but she’s already gained accolades that can land her inside the history books. We can’t wait to introduce you to her!
We’re showing some love to a few cuties in today’s Pet Connect. We’ll introduce you to shelter animals on Delmarva, in hopes of getting them into the arms of a loving human.
