Found as a stray with a pelvic fracture, Dumpling has shown incredible resilience and has made great strides in her recovery. She’s playful and sweet, but needs some time to warm up to new people—likely due to her past experiences.

Dumpling has been vet checked, spayed, and is up to date on all vaccinations, flea/tick and heartworm prevention, plus she’s microchipped. Although she is on medication for her injury, we consider her "special needs" to ensure she gets the best care. The adoption fee is waived, and it includes a leash and collar. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
