Pets of St. Vincent – Zack Jr.

We’re branching out of the world of fur and paws for this week’s Pet of St. Vincent. Today we have Zack Jr., a bearded dragon belonging to Carissa Steed, PharmD, out of Hot Springs!

In her submission form, Carissa said her family wasn’t looking for another pet, but Zack Jr. found them instead. Zack Jr. wandered up onto a porch in town, and the homeowner was unable to care for him. Carissa’s youngest daughter had some experience with bearded dragons, and after some conversation, they brought Zack Jr. home to live with them. Carissa says even though he isn’t furry and doesn’t look cuddly, he is a very affectionate bearded dragon. He has made friends with the Steed family dogs, and he even walks on a leash!

We love when a pet and a family just click like this! Thank you, Carissa, for sharing Zack Jr. with us. Don’t forget, to nominate your pet to be a Pet of St. Vincent, just click this link, fill out the form, and include some high-quality photos with your submission!
