Meet Oatmeal

-She walks beautifully on leash without pulling and would love a home that lets her enjoy plenty of sniff walks and explore at her own pace.-She was a little nervous at first but quickly showed how much she craves affection. Once I sat on the floor, she slowly made her way over for attention. She’d almost sit, with her little butt hovering, like she wanted to relax but wasn’t quite sure how. When I finally guided her into my lap, she melted, eventually rolling over for belly rubs and offering the sweetest, gentle kisses. After that, she wanted to be as close as possible, pressing into me every time I tried to move.-She wasn’t interested in toys and didn’t eat the treats offered, but what she really wanted was something much simpler: to feel safe, loved, and close to someone. It was so hard to say goodbye when all she wanted was to stay in that moment.
