My story

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

My name is Temperance, but I come to Tempe though, too. I am about one year old and have had a very hard life. I was found and rescued weighing only 3.8 pounds. My foster mom has had me and has let me eat nutritious food little by little, and I've gained almost an entire pound! I do not have any food issues though. I never growl at the food bowl when my foster dog-sisters come around, and I take food from your hand like a lady. I love to snuggle up with my human and if you are up to it, I play, too! My foster mom says I am a diva so I even walk like one.

I get scared very easily around strangers and I'm not very fond of the vet. But I am excellent around other little dogs and with children. I don't have any issues with men, either. I just want to be loved on all day long and will follow you wherever you go. I am up to date on all my shots and I am spayed. I am working on potty training and my foster mom says I am doing so good, but I sometimes miss the potty pad if I can't make it outside in time. Please call or text my foster mom at 775-513-0680 or complete an interest application at www.ahome4spot.com. I have an adoption fee.
