Story
Looking for a forever home. Because of her past abuse she DOES NOT do well with men! She will tolerate them but she needs to go to a home where the FEMALE WILL BE THE MAIN CARETAKER. I would like to adopt her out to a stable family so she doesn't get bounced around. She does have anxiety when left alone so prefer she goes to a home where she doesn't have to be caged or left alone very often if at all. I have baby gates put up so when I need to leave she is just limited to my kitchen as she is still so much like a puppy she likes to get into things and chew them up. Lol She is a big cuddle bug and would love to share a bed with you if you allow her to.
