Foster urgently needed! Zoe is breaking our hearts 💔 This poor girl is back at the shelter & absolutely terrified — as in pupils fully dilated, won't let anyone near her terrified. She's desperate to get back into an adult, pet-free foster home where she can feel safe again! 🧵

This sweet, sad marshmallow really needs a foster! Thumper is having a hard time at the shelter, often squishing himself into corners or under blankets to feel safer. He lost his home for the 2nd time in 2 years after his adopter became too ill to care for him & is so stressed he's barely eating 🧵
