Ah, Cotton! What a remarkable journey this lovely girl has been on. 🌈 Imagine spending your first year in a world filled with chaos and neglect, and yet emerging as a beacon of quiet strength and grace. That’s Cotton’s story. She was rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding case, burdened with the weight of her past, yet she has fought tirelessly to reclaim her health and spirit. Now, she’s spayed, fully recovered from heartworm treatment, and ready to find a loving home that honors all she has overcome. What makes Cotton shine in this big, beautiful world? Well, she adores the company of other dogs — they’re her comfort zone and her cheerleaders! 🐕 Just imagine her blossoming happily amongst friendly faces. And let’s not forget about cats; Cotton is wonderfully respectful and gentle, making her an ideal companion for feline friends. 🐈 In her ideal environment, she prefers soft places to take cozy naps, calm voices that soothe her soul, and gentle, slow movements that don’t overwhelm her. Cotton especially loves ear rubs, belly rubs, and the tender affection of the humans she learns to trust. 💕 Now, let’s talk about what Cotton needs from her forever home. Being a bit of a shy girl, she thrives in a peaceful, predictable environment. Quick movements and noisy chaos can be quite overwhelming for her. Therefore, a home without children under 15 is a must, as she needs patience and understanding to feel secure. And because Cotton adores the outdoors, a yard for her to lounge in the sunshine is essential. ☀️ When it comes to her skills, Cotton is a gem—she’s house trained, kennel trained, and leash trained. Basically, she’s a pro at being sweet and gentle! 🙌 Cotton may not be the tail-wagging whirlwind on day one, but give her some time, and you’ll see her quietly choose you, lean in for those delicious scratches, and reveal the true essence of trust. Trust me, when you see her full body wiggles as she gets comfortable, it will become your new favorite sight! 🎉 So, if you’re ready to open your heart and home to this beautiful soul, and you have a calm environment along with another friendly pet to keep her company, Cotton just might be the perfect fit for you! 💖 Don’t forget to apply through the Buddy App to make this love story a reality!
