I was surrendered to ARC at a year old because my owner was moving and didn't want me anymore. I couldn't figure that out. What happened to your pet being part of your family? Anyway, I'm quite handsome and somewhat on the independent side. I like to be petted if it's on my terms. I do not like to be picked up, either. Based on my sparkling personality, I will likely reside here at ARC for a while. In the meantime, I could certainly use a few nice people to donate towards the cost of my care. Thank you!
