My story

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

Ember here. Due to landlord issues my previous owner needed to surrender me. Im so scared here and it's not getting much better. I really need a home with someone who will take their time to get to know me. I like other dogs and it may even be better to have another doggie friend to help me come out of my shell and learn how to "dog". I'm stunning to look at and my coat colors (especially on my face) seem to just melt into each other. Please help me out and at least come meet me, you'll love me. I do have an issue with sharing my food so a home with no kids or older ones who know boundaries would be best. I promise I'll do my best to be the goodest girl ever.

I'm about 1 1/2 - 2 years old!
