My story

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

My Requirements:
-Must be only pet

Hi, I'm Pickles and I love everybody! I really appreciate any time people spend with me, whether it's walking, playing or just sitting nearby. I just want to belong to someone. Whether you're a family, a couple, or an individual, I would love to be your gal!

I'm not a big fan of kennel life; it can be noisy and overwhelming sometimes. I'm a low to medium energy dog and would be amazingly comfortable living almost anywhere. I dream about the simple joys of a dog's life - a couple of walks, a little playtime and some affection.

I recently had a sleepover at a volunteer's house, and they said I was a wonderful guest - 5 stars!

Please apply to meet me today - you won't be sorry. Whether you choose to foster or adopt me, I'll be overjoyed to come home with you!
