She was adopted from Chicago Animal Care & Control, and for a while we all hoped her story had found its happy ending. A year later, she came back in heartbreaking shape, covered in wounds and sores, her little body telling a truth no dog should ever have to carry.

Here's what will ruin you in the best way: even then, all she wanted was love. She wanted to be near humans. She wanted to be near other dogs. She leaned into connection like it was the only thing that ever made sense, like her heart refused to harden no matter what she’d been through.

This girl is a literal diamond in the rough. She’s tiny, but her spirit is enormous. She has the greatest heart, the greatest soul, and the kind of gentle resilience that makes you sit back and wonder how something so pure can still exist.

She doesn’t ask for much. She wants cuddles. She wants to play with dog friends. She wants to be seen, the way all of us do. If you let her into your world, she will love you with the kind of gratitude you can’t teach.

Truly, she’s one of the greatest individuals we’ve ever met, and she deserves the forever that finally matches her goodness.

She would love a home with another dog, and all the friends and chaos of living and loving together Forever.
