This goofy little girl is Shortie! She is a 9-12 month old female Pitty mix who was found hanging out in an abandoned lot all by herself. Just one look at this girl and you can tell that living on the streets has taken its toll on her. Poor Shortie came in with hair loss on different parts of her body and irritated skin that’s due to non-contagious demodex mange and she is also very malnourished. Shorties spunky personality and goofiness goes to show you that she’s not letting her physical state take away from her happiness. This girl is a serious love bug who loveeessss getting pets and plants herself right in your lap to enjoy them as much as possible. Shortie has tons of energy and loves running around and playing with toys. The only thing this beauty is missing is a family to call her own. Come meet little miss Shortie today!!!
