I was abandoned in the 100 degree heat of summer and left to fend for myself and four puppies. I was able to keep them alive until help arrived and we got to our foster home just as their eyes were opening. My focus has been taking care of them, but two have gone to their forever homes and it is just me and my two boys now. My foster and the other people who have been caring for us say that I am an exceptionally attentive mama. I love my boys and I am really proud of them. They are 12 weeks old now and I play with them a lot. They are getting so big that Foster Mom is even taking them out for walks. I get a little worried when they leave that they aren't coming back. I really like my Foster Mom, but now that everyone is growing up, I really do want to find my forever people. I'm really just a young girl myself and I am so sweet and gentle that you will be really happy to have me. One of my favorite things is when people rub my ears and I know how to ask politely for ear rubs, I put my head in the nearest person's lap! I like snuggling up next to you on the couch too. I might be a little nervous when you first meet me...especially if you are a man. My life was hard before and I need to check you out first. If you have treats that will make it easier. And, I really do love people. Once I know you are okay, we will be best friends forever! A lot of things are new to me, like riding in the car and walking on a leash. But don’t worry, I enjoy both of those things! I love walking through my quiet suburban neighborhood and smelling everything. I don’t pull much except when there is something really exciting, like a small animal or a dog I want to meet. Loud noises scare me a little. Do you want to find out how you be my new best friend?
