Story
🐾 Meet Your New Best Friend! 🐾 💕 Lovable, a little howler, and a whole lot of heart! 💕 This sweet girl has already overcome so much in her young life, and now she’s ready to find a family who will love her forever! ❤️ When she was found alone, she was extremely skinny and missing hair across most of her body. Despite her rough start, she has blossomed into a lovable pup who is ready to leave her past behind and start her next chapter with a family of her own. 🏡 🐶 A few things to know about this sweet girl: 🐾 Husky required! 😂 She has plenty to say and loves to howl, so a husky-savvy family who appreciates her vocal personality would be a great match! 🐾 Dog-friendly: She does great with other dogs and loves having furry friends around. 🐾 Cat-friendly: Yep, kitties are friends, too! 🐾 Tortoise-approved: She even does well around tortoises! 🐾 Working on her manners: She is still learning not to jump on people and is working on potty training. She will need a family with patience, consistency, and a willingness to help her learn. 🐾 Crate training: She is still working on becoming comfortable in her crate. 🐾 Special medical needs: She has been diagnosed with rickets and will need to continue taking a calcium supplement for a little while longer. Her future family will need to follow her veterinarian’s recommendations to help her continue healing and growing strong. 🐾 Ready for her forever home: She is spayed and up to date on her vaccinations! 🎉 This girl deserves a home where she can feel safe, be loved unconditionally, and continue to thrive. She may need a little extra patience as she learns the ropes, but she has so much love to give in return. ❤️ Could you be the family she has been waiting for? 🏡🐾 If you think so please fill out an application with CARE. Share to help this sweet girl find her forever home! ❤️
