"I'm Hope for Life's longest resident. I'm quite the misunderstood girl and just need time (lots of it) to warm up to you. I would love a home where I can just lounge around and be by myself most of the time! As you can tell from my pictures I have a big personality and am quite the goofball! Just a heads up, you need to keep an eye on me because I have stolen a hamburger from the shelter's burger day bags before! Consider me here!"
