About Acorn

Meet Acorn! This adorable 5-year-old girl is a mixed breed, weighing in at just 11 pounds. She found herself at a shelter in Georgia as a stray, and though she came in with some old injuries, she’s now healed and ready for a fresh start. Acorn has a noticeable knot along her ribs and limited mobility in one back leg, likely from an incident in her past, but she doesn't suffer any pain from it. She's a sweet and affectionate little companion who would thrive in a gentle environment. Acorn is good with both dogs and cats, making her a social little lady who gets along well with other animals. Since her history is a bit of a mystery, we’re not certain about her potty training, but we believe she may have lived in a home before. Acorn can be a bit fearful when picked up, so she’ll do best in a home with older, respectful children who understand how to handle her with care. Heartworm negative, spayed, and current on vaccinations, Acorn deserves a safe place where she can feel secure and loved. If you’re looking to give this sweet girl a home filled with kindness, consider fostering or adopting her. She's set to make the journey to Cedarburg, WI on November 14th, and she needs a committed adopter to secure her spot! Ready to make a difference in Acorn’s life? What are you waiting for?
