My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Take a look at me. I’m what they call “Special Needs”. Please don’t get scared of those words. I’m sweet, adorable, and want someone special to adopt me. I had no loving home. No family who cared that I wanted help. You see, I had a cleft palate and teeth that grew every which way. It was hard for me to eat or breathe through my nose. Some people thought I looked ugly. That made me feel sad. The rescue took me in, chipped me, made sure I got all my shots and then did the most wonderful thing in the world. They took me to a surgeon who fixed my mouth and nose. I’m much better now that I’ve healed. I wanna be truthful though. It is a little hard for me to eat my food. I have to turn my head and eat out of the side of my mouth. But, so what! The important thing is that I’m young, only 3 years old, healthy and easy going. Ok, so I’m still skinny. I’m workin’ at gaining some weight. My turn to ask you: Are you lovable, patient, and willing to care for me, just as I am? I know you’re out there.
