Okay, picture this: a 10-year-old dog with the energy of a toddler after juice, the coordination of a baby deer on roller skates, and the heart of a Hallmark movie grandma. That’s Mama✨✨
Mama is a certified ray of sunshine with some extra-special needs... and let’s be real, they only make her more lovable. Her walk is more “wobble-waddle” than “strut,” and she sometimes needs a little help navigating the world. But don’t you dare tell her she’s not the queen of it... she expects cuddles, snacks, and compliments in that exact order.
Despite her slightly sideways gait (which, honestly, should be trademarked for cuteness), bottomless pit of a stomach, and smaller vision field, Mama is one of the happiest creatures on this planet. She’s part dog, part teddy bear, part unintentional comedian.
Despite whatever challenges she’s faced in the past, what Mama really wants is a home with someone who sees past her quirks and sees her magic. She lives her life with resilience, grace, and the kind of gentle spirit that makes everyone believe in second chances.
Special needs? Yes. Special heart? Absolutely.
Apply to meet Mama... she might just be your soulmate in disguise.❤🐾
