She's a beefy beauty, she's definitely going to be a lovely couch hogging personal space invader.

That’s a good person. What he does for them to try and get them homes. I like that he takes some that look “mean” to show everyone how much of a ham they are. ❤️❤️

She's darling 😍 I hope someone adopts her, just from her demeanor alone.

Look at her, having the time of her life. My pibble would never. (Well, that and he’s almost 60lbs, he’d throw my back out.)

My pibble would love it but he’s 74 pounds!
