Hello, it's Carol here. 🎁 After nearly 2 years of hoping, I find myself back at the shelter this holiday season, and it's been harder than I ever imagined. My heart is heavy with dreams of a family to call my own. 💔
Can you envision a home where I can truly belong? I’m not just another shelter dog; I’m a loving, snuggly, and slightly silly girl who thrives in a home filled with love and cozy evenings. 🐾
💫 A New Year, A New Hope: My fifth birthday just passed this Christmas, spent here at the shelter surrounded by caring friends but still missing that special someone. Could you be the hero I need to start 2025 with hope and happiness?
💕 A Little More About Me:
Age: Just turned 5 years old on Christmas Day 🎂
Weight: 80 lbs of pure affection 💪
Personality: Loyal, cuddly, and the ideal partner for movie nights 🍿
Skills: Fully potty, crate, and house trained. I also know sign language!
Special Note: I thrive as the only pet—ready to cherish all the love you can give.
