I found 2 girl puppies on the side of the road in early February. Sadly one of them passed away shortly after picking them up. They were severely malnourished and as thin as toothpicks. The one that survived has gotten a lot stronger and has broken out of her shell since then. We cannot keep her, but she deserves a loving home. She’s playful and outgoing, and very sweet and loving. She is the perfect companion and deserves the best life possible.
