Story
Say hello to Reagan. One interesting feature about Reagan is her tail. It may look like she is missing the tip of her tail, but she was actually born that way. Reagan can be a little bashful, but once she gains some confidence she crawls right into your lap for snuggles, her sausage-like tail wiggling away! As she has been building her confidence she she has learned that the zoomies are really fun.Call Helping Paws to see if Reagan would be a good addition to your home!D.O.B: 8-31-25Siblings: Rumi, Randall, Ranger

Story
Howdy! I`m Gage. I was born in Savannah, Tennessee, where my mama says she gave birth to me and my siblings on a pile of trash, but don`t worry we are absolute treasures! That same day we were rescued by Animal Rescue Corps and brought to HP! I`m the big brother of my litter! I like to act like I`m big and tough when it comes to wrestling with my siblings, but once I roll over onto my back I play the victim! Maybe I just want to scratch an itch on my back, not have everyone pile on top of me! Gosh! One day, I hope to find my own place and catch a break from all my siblings! Call HP and save me from my family!D.O.B: 5-28-25Mom: FrankieSiblings: Barrington, Bayles, Mclean, Feme, Butler, Honey
