Here's what the humans have to say about me:
My name is Freckles and I’m looking for my forever home. Are you looking for a quiet, laid-back girlie who loves naps and peanut butter sandwiches? How about a girl who’ll do a special happy dance when you come home from work? Then your search is over! I’m 6 y.o. and I weigh 32 lbs. I came to my foster home here in Troy, MO, from a commercial breeding facility where it was my job to make puppies. That was hard work! Retirement suits me much better. Finally, I can nap in peace! Foster mom says I snore, but I think she’s lying. Sometimes she tries to wake me up and I sigh at her loudly to let her know that I am not to be disturbed. But when I’m feeling energetic, we go outside for walks. I like exploring, unless there are big loud noises outside (like thunder or motorcycles) and then nope, I’m done – we are going back home NOW please. Foster mom says I’m stubborn. She is wrong. I have opinions, as any smart girl should. I’m a good girl! Because I’m so quiet and well-behaved, foster mom thinks I’d be fine in an apartment. I’m potty trained and don’t mess up anything that I’m not supposed to. I like to collect all of the toys and take them to my special nest (under foster mom’s bed). I don’t play with them, but I still like to have them there. Foster mom says I’m a hoarder. Hrmph. Girl, please. I get along well with dogs, little kids, and even cats. I’m curious about the kittens here, but don’t chase them. I have no prey-drive to speak of. Can’t be bothered with that. I’m a healthy girl – spayed and vaccinated. If you live in the Midwest and have a soft spot just waiting for someone to nap in, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA get to know you and your home environment to make sure that you know I like peanut butter sandwiches and that we’ll be a good match! Once approved, SIRA will connect you to my foster mom so we can meet!
