My story

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

Squirrely is adored around PAWS Atlanta, so seeing her thriving in a foster home makes everything feel right with the universe. This little buy has been waiting for someone to pick her for 5 years, and we just don’t get it.

Squirrely, her foster says, loves life’s simple pleasures — leisurely walks, meals and plenty of naps. He writes”(She) meal time and the pills in soft dog food are her favorite part. When the soft food comes out she starts to spin in excitement.
I've left her alone for hours and not had any issues. She sleeps a lot.”

Squirrely has tested well with other dogs at the shelter and continues to be friendly with other dogs she meets around her neighborhood.

Her foster wrote up this sweet summary of Squirrely:


“10-year-old bully/Boston terrier mix (we think… she’s adorably mysterious 😄)
Loves people & other dogs — instant friend energy
House-trained queen 👑 — no accidents
Major cuddle bug 🥰
Playful & spry for her age — still has puppy spark
Enjoys walks (about 1–1.5 miles before she’s ready to relax)
Not destructive… except plush toys 🧸 (she lovingly disembowels them)
On a special diet, so treats are limited — but she still gets very excited at mealtime
Gentle and sweet, though loud noises or big objects can startle her a bit
Unknown with cats or kids, but very affectionate and easygoing so far

💖 Personality in one sentence:

A snuggly, happy senior girl who loves walks, soft toys, and being close to her people — with just enough silliness to keep life fun.

🐕💫 Squirrely is ready to be someone’s cozy companion and best friend.”
