I was picked up dodging traffic on a busy highway in Miami County. I was scared, hungry and looking for my owners. A nice person picked me up and took me to the Miami County Animal Shelter. Although they treated me great, I was so scared they quickly realized I needed to come to Harlequin Haven. The next day I was here!! I have a soft bed, tons of toys and I will be fed every few hours until I gain my weight.
Update 4/3: Oops I forgot to tell you I weigh 73.6 pounds and Grandma told me I should weigh at least 120 pounds!!
Update 4/23: I now weigh 85 pounds and gaining!!
