My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Pepita is just the sweetest girl who has obviously had it rough. She was just skin and bones and heartworm positive but we are working hard to get her healthy again! She's already so happy! She seems to be some flavor of mastiff and will definitely be a big girl when she gets some weight on her. She just wants a couch to lay on and as much attention and food as she can get! Even as hungry as she must be she is very polite and has not begged for food or shown an aggression towards our 30lb terrier. We have introduced her to our cat as well and while we haven't seen any aggression she is definitely curious.

We believe Pepita would be happiest in a home with hearts as big as hers and lots of love, With someone who will be able to maintain her heartworm treatments and make sure she is getting enough to eat. Maybe not cats or small children as she isn't convinced she's as big as she is, but she's incredibly gentle so it may work for the right people. We are anxious to find her a fantastic forever family, but don't think she'll be in the system long with those big brown eyes melting hearts so please reach out if you're interested in meeting Precious Pepita!
