About Sweetness (in Foster)




Dogs – Yes, has done well with other dogs
Cats: Looking for a feline-free home
Kids: Yes
If you're looking for a happy-go-lucky pup who thinks life is one big cuddle party-meet Sweetness. She's got full-body wiggles, a heart of gold, and a special talent for proudly showing off her favorite toys like she's won a prize at the fair.
Sweetness was found as a stray and taken in by a Good Samaritan who worked at a vet clinic. She spent her days hanging out in the office, charming everyone she met, and collecting belly rubs like it was her full-time job-until she made her way to us to find her forever home.
She loves her people (and wants to be near them at all times), rides like a champ in the car, and melts into you like butter on toast when it's cuddle time. She leans in close, flops over for affection, and lives for squeaky toys and attention.
She's still learning some of the basics, but her joy is contagious and her snuggles are top-tier. If your ideal companion is equal parts silly, sweet, and completely devoted-Sweetness is ready to be your new best friend.

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
