SAFE 3/11/17
French Toast came to BACC as a stray and was a little underweight, but didn’t let that get in her way of being super adorable and friendly! She’s been having some issues with diarrhea and vomiting, but this sweetheart is truly ready to go to her forever home! She allows all handling and has so many years ahead of her, so take her home today! French Toast appears to be developing a URI.
