Story
Stretch is approximately 6/7 months old. She gets along with other dogs nicely. She is ok with cats but she needs extra love and attention. She is very timid and shy. She has an old healed injury from when she was a pup. She had her pelvis broken somehow and it healed incorrectly. So now she uses her leg for support but it doesn’t work. April 17, 2026, 1:06 pm
