IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PET, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATION FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE HTTP://FUREVERTAILS.COM. Unfortunately, at this time we are not currently adopting outside of the state of MI. We process applications ONLY - there is no guarantee that you will get a response to an inquiry. MEET ROW: Age: 4 years old   Weight: 30 pounds     Hello there! My name is Row, and I’m a lovable 4-year-old looking for my forever family. I was once a stray, found wandering alone and in need of help. Thankfully, I was rescued by an outreach group called The Karens, who brought me to Furever Tails Animal Rescue for a second chance at life.   When I was found, I had sores all over my body from a severe skin infection, but I’m currently receiving medical treatment to heal those wounds. The details of my past are a bit of a mystery, but what I do know is that I deserve a loving home filled with kindness and care.   I’m currently living with a wonderful teenage foster sibling, and we get along fabulously! I am housebroken and crate trained, making me an easy and tidy companion. I absolutely love attention and affection—I’m a true lap dog at heart!    While I can be a bit cautious around other dogs and feel the need to be on guard when they are around, I would do best as the only pet in my future home. I love my humans so much, and I thrive on the love and comfort they provide.   I also enjoy car rides, and I behave well as a passenger! Due to my current wounds, I am unable to walk on a leash right now, but I love to roam freely in a fenced-in yard where I feel safe. For my safety, tethering is not an option for me.   Being a little on the shorter side, navigating stairs is tough for me, so a home with minimal to no stairs would be ideal.    I’m a quiet girl, and my desire is simply to find a family to love and be loved by. If you’re looking for a gentle and devoted companion, I might just be the perfect match for you. Let’s create some beautiful memories together—I'm ready for my forever home!

Story
Don't let my age put you off. I may not run around the block like the young dogs, but I am sweet and spirited. I do like a walk to explore my world, and then will snuggle up for movie night. I like other dogs. I have not met cats. Weight: 13 lbs. (I need to lose 1-2 lbs to be at my ideal weight. NOTE: I LIVE IN HOUSTON, TEXAS BUT CAN BE TRANSPORTED TO YOUR AREA.
