Meet Possum! This 8-week-old mixed-breed girl is eager to leave her tough start behind and step into a loving home. Possum is sweet, sassy, and absolutely adorable. With a personality that quickly melts hearts, she is sure to bring joy to her future family. Her mama weighs about 20 pounds, but we can only guess her dad’s contribution to her size, making her adult weight a delightful mystery.

She loves nothing more than napping in a person’s lap, and she knows how to settle in for those cozy puppy snuggles. This little bundle of sass will undoubtedly keep her new family entertained and laughing. She gets along wonderfully with cats, dogs, and children, and she deserves a family ready to provide her with the love, patience, and guidance she needs.
