My story

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

I’m the total package—you just have to meet me to believe it! 🐾 I’m a happy-go-lucky girl with a heart full of love and an unending zest for life. I may have some special needs, but let me tell you—nothing slows me down.

I have a low spinal injury that keeps my back legs from working, so my front legs are extra strong and I zoom around like a pro in my wheels. Honestly, I think I might even be faster than some of my four-legged friends! I’m double incontinent, which sounds fancy but just means I need a help going potty. My foster humans learned how to express me, and they say it’s easier than it sounds—just part of my routine! I like a good schedule, but I’m also super flexible—I can adapt to just about anything as long as I’m loved. Cuddling is my superpower. I’m an expert napper, a silly snuggle, and a total lovebug. I also love to play—I love treats, wrestling with my foster sibs, and being a part of the action. Wanna take a road trip? Count me in.

I get SO excited to go on adventures, and I never turn down a good snuggle afterward. Life is full of joy, and I’m here to remind you of that every single day. Now I’m looking for a forever family as special as I am—kind, patient, fun-loving, and full of heart. In return, I’ll give you unconditional love, constant laughs, and the snuggliest companionship you could ever ask for. Could you be my person?
