About Pelusa

Meet Pelusa, Pelusa arrived with her sisters after being born on the streets of Mexico. Rescued by our partner in Juárez, she traveled to North Carolina and is now in a loving foster home. Despite being a little shy at first, Pelusa is a sweet and loving girl who quickly warms up to new friends. All she really wants is a cozy lap to rest on and a warm, comfy bed at night. She is house trained and has taken to her crate well, though she’s still learning to spend time alone, having always been with her sisters. She’s adapting nicely and has started playing outside and engaging with toys around the house. At about 7 months old, Pelusa is spayed and fully vaccinated. If you think Pelusa might be the right fit for you, be sure to fill out an adoption application.
