My story

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

Smidge is a very special little girl who tugs at your heartstrings. She has an injury on one of her hind legs that didn't heal properly, is tiny and frail-looking, and is extremely shy around people she hasn't met. And yet, there is nothing more rewarding than gaining her trust, watching her climb into your lap and curl up into the most adorable little ball. However, although her favorite place to be is definitely on a warm lap, she does enjoy short walks, and can walk just fine despite her leg injury.

The shelter environment is very overwhelming and frightening for her, but despite it all, she is still so eager to love and trust someone who can be gentle and make her feel safe. Outside of the shelter, she would have a much easier time, but still needs someone who can be patient, gentle and understanding. But if you can be that person, you can be sure she will reward you with so much love.
