You’ve got to love a little girl who says she wants to adopt a dog for her birthday! This little sweetie (pictured with an HPF volunteer) came to Petsmart this weekend with her mom to pick out a dog. They chose Stevie, one of the most laid-back and loving dogs ever! They couldn’t take Stevie home right then because they were on their way to a birthday party but mom came back for Stevie the next day. Mom Jasmine says Stevie is “the perfect dog and everyone in the family already loves her”
