Meet Cotton Ball, a gentle and sensitive soul who is just beginning to discover the joys of love and safety. This sweet Lab Retriever mix, weighing approximately 32lbs, was born around March 26, 2022. She comes from a difficult past, having lived in a hoarding situation where she didn't receive the care she deserved. Though she arrived underweight, with good food, patience, and kindness, Cotton Ball is gaining strength and confidence daily.
When you first meet Cotton Ball, she may be a little shy, and that's perfectly understandable. The world is still a big, new place for her, and she needs a human who understands that building trust takes time. But as she starts to feel safe, you'll see it in her soft eyes, her quiet tail wags, and her gentle presence that simply wants to be near you.
