Tell me that you can look at this face and not want to sweep this little girl up in your arms!! Miss Frowny Face is as sweet as can be! She's a bit too thin, her nails are too long, all signs that she didn't receive the best of care, but her personality is all about love and snuggles. Show her a lap that's empty and she's right there! She gives hugs and kisses, snuggles in close tail wagging sweetly. Off leash she just follows her person around the back yard, not interested in much else than waiting for that person to sit down again so she can snuggle. She enjoys some treats, and as thin as she is, takes them gently and sweetly. She aced her behavior assessment indicating she'll be a good fit in just about any home... Tummy is small enough to fit in any size lap, so come in and give your lap the Tummy test. Guaranteed she'll make it work!!
Tummy is stabilized however she is suffering from a gunshot wound. She will need to see a vet for a work-up. Despite all the trauma and near death experience, Tummy is actually sweet and affectionate! She is extremely responsive and engaging. Please help her--she needs someone to nurture her back to health!
