About Turtle

Meet Turtle, also known as Little Miss Turtle Bug! This adorable 8-pound senior girl may be small, but she’s bursting with love and personality. Found as a stray, she had a microchip, but the number was disconnected, leaving her past a mystery. It's clear, however, that she was once loved and now it’s her turn to find a forever home. Turtle enjoys exploring her foster yard, curling up for cozy naps on the back of the sofa, and absolutely adores snacks. Seriously, she really loves her snacks! Living in a bustling foster home, Turtle gets along with dogs of all ages and sizes. She’s indifferent to cats, focusing instead on being close to her humans and soaking up all the love she can. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and ready to leave her unknown past behind. Turtle dreams of a home where she can savor life’s little joys: a soft nap space, tasty treats, endless belly rubs, and her very own people to love.
