🌟 Meet Reina Marie, the fluffy bundle of joy that’s ready to find her forever home! At around 6.5 years old and weighing just 10 pounds, this Maltese mix has a heart as big as her spirit will make yours! 💖 Reina's journey hasn't been easy. She was one of the last dogs rescued from a hoarding situation, where she endured unimaginable conditions. But guess what? She’s a trooper! After a little TLC at our vet—including the removal of a benign mammary tumor and a massive bladder stone—Reina is now on the mend and ready to start a new chapter filled with love and cuddles. 🐾 This lovely lady is wonderfully mellow with bursts of playful energy that will make your heart melt! Picture this: Reina’s excited little paws waving in the air, eagerly ready to zoom around before bedtime (oh yes, bedtime zoomies are a real thing!). She's affectionate, sweet, and maybe a tad shy at first, but don’t worry; she warms up faster than a sunny day! ☀️ Reina's guilty pleasure? Snuggling on your lap! She adores being near her humans and will try her best to claim your lap as her throne. 🏰 But here’s a little secret: she might just moonlight as a seal when she’s excited and an anteater while rooting around the yard! 🦭🦙 Now, she has a couple of quirks. She’s not a big fan of being left alone, so her ideal home is one where someone’s around to lavish her with love! A home without shared walls would be best, as her vocal talents may surprise you when she's feeling left out. And let’s not forget, she’s still learning her potty manners, but with gentle encouragement, she’s making strides! Reina’s perfect family is gentle and dog-savvy, ideally with kids who can appreciate her needs. She loves her foster siblings and enjoys hanging out with their dog-savvy cat too! 🎉 The key here is patience, love, and someone who will treat her like the little princess she truly is!👑 Reina is spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped. She’s ready for adoption in Connecticut and surrounding states.
