I heard you were looking for a new best friend.. you're in luck because I've never met a stranger! My shelter family describes me as "happy-go-lucky" which makes sense because I am a little ray of sunshine. I have loved meeting new people at the shelter, but what I am most excited for is meeting my forever family! I dream of going on long walks with them, playing fetch, and then curling up on the couch after all of our adventures. I have lived with other dogs previously so I may be open to a doggo sibling. As always, we will do a meet and greet to make sure it's the perfect fit for everyone!

If you think I'd make the perfect addition to your home (I mean look at me, I'm sure you do!).. click here to fill out an adoption application: https://www.hornellanimalshelter.org/Adoptionprocessandfees
