About Esther

Esther is a tiny senior sweetheart with a huge personality and a heart to match. Despite her age, she’s overflowing with love, and she’s ready to find someone who will cherish each moment spent together. She gets along well with everyone, including kids, and shares her foster home with much larger dogs. Esther fine-tunes her role in the household, reminding them that the smallest girl deserves the coziest spot on the couch! She enjoys simple pleasures: leisurely yard sniffing, cozy naps, and snuggling up to her favorite humans. Completely house-trained and easygoing, she has a charming raspy bark when she wants to talk. These days, Esther prefers a softer lifestyle with gentle meals and some assistance on stairs. She doesn't seek grand adventures; instead, she yearns for a comfortable home filled with love and a lap to call her own. If you have space in your heart and home for this sweet little lady, she would be thrilled to spend her golden years by your side. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
