🐾ADOPTION SUCCESS STORY🐾

Happy Wednesday, furry family! We’re excited to share another heartwarming adoption success story with you!

The Charles Family found their forever friend, Mimi, back in November of 2022! Here’s their story, straight from the snoot:

"🌟 **Throwback to the Day We Adopted Mimi!** 🌟

On a chilly November day in 2022, our family was lucky enough to welcome Mimi into our lives from Lawton Animal Welfare! 🐾 From the moment we met her, she lit up our world with her boundless energy and love. It was as if we’d brought home a little black-and-white tornado who never stops wagging her tail!

Mimi is as smart as she is silly. She’s mastered every trick we’ve taught her…well, sort of! “Sit” means a quick seat and then off she goes, zipping around the room. “Stay” is more of a suggestion because to Mimi, there’s always something fun to explore. And don’t even get us started on fences—they’re no match for her! To her, they’re just another jump to conquer. We quickly learned that if she wasn’t by our side, she was probably on the other side of a fence, looking back at us with her mischievous little grin. 😆

Despite her playful nature, Mimi’s heart is as big as her love for adventure. She’s always there with a snuggle and a paw when we need it, reminding us every day just how special she is. Thank you, Lawton Animal Welfare, for bringing Mimi into our lives. She’s been the best friend we could ever ask for, and we couldn’t imagine life without her. 💖"

Thank you so much Charles Family for giving this special furry friend a loving home! ❤🏠
