Story

Shrimp is under a year old. We adopted her from the shelter when I was pregnant with twins. She knows how to sit and she won’t eat her food until you say”okay”. She LOVES to snuggle and play fetch! She is on Apoquel, an allergy medicine, that I believe she will be on likely forever. She eats Purina one salmon kibble! We have a crate, toys, food, and treats to give with her. I’d love for her to go to a home with either no other dog or another large dog. With someone who can really get her some exercise and also snuggle her! We truly treat her like a princess, she gets plenty of treats and love and I want her to have that same life. I’d also love to be able to stay in touch with the adopters so I can get pictures and updates throughout her life. Since I’ve had the twins and she is protective over them. She’s never snapped at them or me or my husband. She’s also never snapped at my chihuahua or my cat but she has snapped at my Pomeranian over a bone near the twins.
