My story

**MEET LARRY**The world was never kind to me… until now.Hi, I’m Larry. The staff at the ACSPCA call me Crazy Larry because I sometimes get the zoomies and run like crazy! I came from a place with 63 other Chihuahuas, I was the biggest one out of everyone! We were packed inside a dirty house, fighting for space, for food, for air… for any scrap of comfort. My paws never knew grass. My ears never knew silence. I had never been held gently or told I was safe. So, when I got rescued, I didn’t know what to do. I was scared. I still get scared sometimes.I’ve been staying with an amazing foster family who also have some of my brother and sisters, they understand me. I’ve learned that soft voices are okay. That hands can give love, not just take it. That I don’t have to fight for a spot anymore—I can just be. I’m learning. Every day I try.People say I’m sweet—and I really am—but sometimes I just need space. The world still overwhelms me. But if you sit with me quietly, I’ll come close. When you look into my eyes, you’ll see all the cracks I carry. You’ll see a heart that still believes love is possible, even after all I’ve been through.I’m just over a year old. That means I have so much life ahead of me—walks in the yard, treats before bedtime, lazy Sundays curled up on the couch. But I need someone patient. Someone kind. Someone who understands that healing takes time.I need a fenced-in yard, because I’m small and sometimes I panic. I need a home without young kids—just because fast movements and loud sounds are still scary. I do like kids though, especially the gentle ones who sit on the floor and let me come to them.Please don’t scroll past me. I’m not perfect, but I am worth it. I’ve already come so far—and with you, maybe I can finally find my forever home. If you ever needed a second chance in life, then you know how I feel. It`s not always easy to trust new people after living most of my life in fear so please, please give me a chance, I know things are going to get better for me...

If you have any questions or would like to adopt #51 Crazy Larry, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
