story. I was rescued from the streets of Houston, TX. I arrived in MN just after Thanksgiving. My
foster mom recognized right away that I wasn’t well. Within 24 hours I was checked for diabetes
and urinary infection. I had both. After treatment and getting my insulin-regulated, I’m feeling
stellar! In my foster home, I have a brother and sister. I really want to be the only dog cuz I’m
older and prefer to nap for most of the day. If you want to cuddle me I would love that too. You
should know that I am visually impaired but I get around just fine once I’m familiar. I enjoy car
rides and shopping. Occasionally I play with toys too. I like tiny tennis balls and Kongs filled with
treats. My foster mom and I are working on potty training. I will go outside but need potty pads
and diapers too. I am a tiny little girl just under 6 lbs. sweet as can be. I do need insulin
injections twice a day. Do you have room in your ❤️ for me?
