Pet of the Week

Tupelo is a total tender heart who could really use your TLC these days. -- RUBY HERNANDEZ photo

Do you have a soft spot for sweet survivors that just need a fresh start in life? Then I really hope you stop by and take a chance on me, Tupelo, dog No. H108. I’m a petite 1 1/2-year-old spayed 23-pound female that was found in really shabby shape in August.

They found me in a trap in Wailuku, totally terrified and practically hairless. After several weeks of treatments, I was finally well enough to join the pack and make some new friends. I made a ton of four-legged friends in playgroups and have been starting to really blossom at making two-legged ones, as well.

I’m hoping for a calm and loving new ohana that will give me the comfort and love I need to be the confident cutie that I’m finally starting to feel I’m ready to be. So if you have the patience to show a bashful baby girl like me the ropes, I promise to cherish you for my many years to come.
