Challonet's Story

Challonet’s left foot went through something serious before she was rescued. The string and debris had been there long enough to cause the kind of damage that doesn’t fully reverse: all nerve function in the toes, gone. The swelling and scarring that built up before treatment left her foot permanently enlarged — about double the size of the right one — and without any gripping ability. It is a foot that has been through it. That foot required fighting for, and she kept it, and it is hers, and that is the end of the medical portion of this profile because Challonet has decided her foot is not the most interesting thing about her.<br/>She is flirtatious. She is vivacious. She has a personality that enters the room slightly before she does, and she does not apologize for this. Her pigeon pants have the biggest bows of anyone at GLPR, and this is not an accident. Her pigeon pants are a statement, and she is making it deliberately, and she would like you to have noticed by now!<br/>She is also, her foster mom can confirm, extremely nosy. Challonet explores her foster home with the thoroughness of someone conducting an inspection, and she takes this responsibility seriously. New item in the room? She’ll get to it. Unusual sound from the next space over? She’s already on her way. She likes to know what’s happening, and she considers it within her purview to find out.<br/>At the end of the day she settles onto her extra soft, extra fluffy cushion — the one selected specifically for a foot that can’t grip and needs a gentle landing — and she sleeps there in the safety and comfort that she went far too long without.<br/>The bows are large. The cushion is soft. Challonet has arranged things exactly as she prefers them, and she is ready for a home with sufficient entertainment for her curiosity and sufficient appreciation for her considerable personal flair!
