Sweetie is a rescue, absolutely scared of large appliances and trucks. But loves open space outdoors, loves kisses, loves a good movie with a soft blanket and is so very smart. She’s been in my care almost a year now and I can’t help but feel there is someone out there who can give her more love and support and who might need all the sass she’s bringing.
