My story

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

Hello there, I`m Squash! I`d love to meet you! I love the staff and volunteers at PCAPS! I haven`t met cats yet. I don`t mind other dogs and have done well with dogs one on one. I don`t want to go to dog parks, or places where a lot of dogs are allowed to meet me. It is too overwhelming. Can we just stay home and watch TV or play? I love going on walks and cuddling!
