My favorite place is right beside someone who loves me.<br/><br/>I may not look like the picture-perfect German Shepherd right now, but my heart is as beautiful as ever. All I want is another chance-a family who will see past my missing fur and see the loyal, loving companion underneath.<br/><br/>I've already known what it's like to have a home, and I know how much it means. I'm hoping there's someone out there willing to give me that gift one more time.
