Hi! I’m Squid. I’ve been waiting way too long for my new (well, actually first!) family to find me. It all started when I was a stray, roaming the streets and minding my business when another dog knocked me up. Oops! When I had my babies, I got taken to a shelter where I hid in the corner of my kennel to nurse my babies. Then some random lady picked me up and brought me to her house where I had a whole room to take care of my pups. I gave everything I had to my babies, to the point that all my hair fell out while nursing! How embarrassing! My foster mom fed me good food and gave me lots of baths and now I’m nice and shiny again.
Im currently crashing here with several dogs and some cats. Apparently cats don’t want to play with me, but that’s okay I just watch them now. I’m still pretty shy around new people and take several days to warm up in a new place. But now that I know my foster ma, I do a silly dance for her every time she comes home. Maybe I can show you?
I’ve had a pretty rough start between being a homeless single mother and all, but I’m learning that life can be pretty good! I love laying in the sun, carrying stuffed toys around, wrestling with my foster brother, and choosing to lay in cat beds that are way too small for me even if there’s large dog beds available.
Foster Mom keeps telling me that there’s a family out there for me, so I’ll keep dreaming about you until you find me!
