Read the FULL Bio to see where I am located and contact info: D2026001- I'm Jasmine- as beautify as the flower I'm named after. I'm a older lovely lady, arriving with my besties to RCHS as an owner surrenders. I'm about 11 years old and I weigh 14 pounds. I do need some special treatment because I'm a senior. I use eye drops to treat dry eye symptoms- that will be forever but I'm a good girl and the volunteers have a routine so I'm ok with it, anything that has CHEESE is for me. I'm on a soft food diet as I have missing teeth due to my age. I enjoy spending time lounging around with my bestie Lily (bonded pair, must go together), resting in my bed and lap sitting with the volunteers. I love when the volunteers talk to me, I get happy and do the tappies. I am vetted, vaccinated and microchipped. If you are looking for a lovely older gal to sit with you and enjoy the day- I'm your girl.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.
