Gwen and her sister Skippy ventured up here all the way from Alabama. They were part of a litter of six that were saved from a shelter outside of Birmingham, and taken in by a kind foster. We previously welcomed two of their sisters, who were just as sweet and petite, and of course were adopted quickly! We hope Gwen's stay is just as short!

Gwen is Miss Popular. She is the life of the party, the first one on the dance floor! Gwen greets everyone like they are her long lost bestie, and somehow makes you feel like you are the only one she truly loves. We love that she is the perfect size for snuggling up to, or taking on all sorts of summer adventures (which, naturally, she is game for!). We hope you will hurry in to meet this special girl with the sparkling personality (and good looks, too!). Surely she will not last long.

Skippy's adoption fee is $300. She is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.
