🎉 ADOPTED! Cozy's New Beginning! 🎉

After 436 days in care, Cozy has found her forever home 🏡! She was fostered while we arranged for her spaying, and her foster parent made it official the day after her procedure.

While Cozy’s past story would be heartbreaking, her future is bright 🌟. Her new family reports that she has been the perfect addition to their home—calm, gentle, and truly enriching their lives. Cozy loves to spend most of her time snoozing, but she’s always excited for a trip to Tractor Supply. 🛒 We wish Cozy and her new family the best as they begin this exciting chapter!
