Here's what the humans have to say about me:
My name is Slim and I am looking to adopt a family with special needs: Do you have a special need to be loved and worshiped? Do you have a special need to be met at the door by a wagging tail? Do you have a special need to engage in some hardcore cuddling? I am willing and able to reasonably accommodate all of your special needs.
I wasn't really supposed to be looking for a new family, so thank your lucky stars that this opportunity is being presented to you. I had my own home and was loved and well taken care of by my own human. Sadly, he died last December and I ended up at the groomer’s and stayed there for 7 months. Eventually I landed in rescue. I know that was not what my human had in mind so I handled it well and did not let it break my spirit. I want to go to my new family as quickly as possible so my old human can rest assured that I have new people to take care of and that I’m safe. I don’t want him to worry.
My foster momma says I’m “resilient.” I think that’s fancy speak for “cuddly.” She also says that I haven’t let any of the recent events in my life stop me or hold me back, so yeah, it means cuddly for sure because I’m totally adorable and I cuddle like a boss.
I should mention that I’m a little bit blind (a lot). I also don’t let that stop me. Granted, I run into stuff here and there, but no biggie, I can hold my own in any situation. I find my way around very well and jump on and off the couch when invited. My foster house has steps on most sofas and beds and I’ve learned to use them--pretty convenient stuff. My chronological age is “undetermined” but I’m young at heart. I enjoy playing with squeaky toys, adore going for walks and like riding in the car and going places.
At my foster home, I enjoy the company of three other foster IGs. I like to greet all dogs and people I run into on my walks and outings, even the large ones!! (I’m very confident.) If the others push me too hard and I cry a little, my foster momma holds me tight and tells me “you is smart, you is kind, you is important” and gives me a bunch of kisses that I love.
My foster momma doesn’t crate me, but as I mentioned, I stayed at the groomer’s for 7 months, so I think that passes for “crate-trained.” My foster momma is helping me make up for the time at the groomer’s with lots of cuddles, generous meals (I had lost some weight), long walks and sunning sessions in the backyard.
If you think I sound as amazing as I actually am, snap me up quickly because this is a limited time opportunity. I am sure to go fast.
