Meet the fabulous Persephone, a delightful little lady who's about 8 years old and weighs just 13 pounds! Now, just imagine this—Persephone was once a stray, facing a world full of challenges that would make even the toughest pup shudder. Found in rough shape, her inflamed skin, missing fur, and flea infestation had left her in a heartbreaking state. Oh, the fears she faced! Whenever someone approached, she would freeze or shake, her eyes wide with panic. But, oh, how the tides have turned! With endless love and care from our dedicated staff and volunteers, Persephone embarked on a journey of transformation. Over the weeks at the rescue, she's blossomed into the sweet, sparkling spirit that she is today! Imagine her skin healing, her fur growing back gloriously, and her personality shining like a diamond! Now, when she spots a familiar face, her tail wags like a joyful metronome, and she scampers over to shower her admirers with kisses from her adorably long tongue. It’s a sight that can melt any heart! 💖✨ Persephone’s unique look—a long body that hints at her dachshund heritage, an endearing overbite that brings a Chihuahua to mind, and a charming pug-like face—creates a canine beauty that's impossible to resist. Her mix is a delightful puzzle, and she's gorgeous in every way! This little treasure thrives on gentle, steady care and does wonderfully with other dogs, especially when rewards are involved. Treat-motivated and a lover of calm attention, she’s looking for a home where she can feel safe and cherished. 🏡 The ideal human for Persephone is someone who understands the value of patience, is around often, and has experience with senior dogs. She doesn’t ask for much—just some quiet companionship, snuggles, and, most importantly, the chance to bask in the love she deserves.
