I joined C-Forward in September 2023. My mom (that’s Daley) rescued me from the shelter “Texas Round Up Animal Alliance.” My name means “My Beloved” in Italian. I had been abandoned and left outside in the rain with no food when they found me. I was terrified of a lot of things especially rain and being starved. My mom found me on Petfinder, when I was 16 months and had me brought to Cincinnati. With a lot of love and attention I have overcome my fears. I am now 2 years old and live a wonderful life.

One of the special parts of my life is coming to work every day to see my work-family and guests that visit. I visit everyone’s office so they can pet me (I’m very spoiled) or steal any of the food they have left lying around (their loss cuz they know better). Aunt Hannah dog sits and takes me walks. Brent says he wants to steal me so he rides me in up the elevator to his condo sometimes. Otherwise, I sit at the windows and watch the crowds of people walking through Covington or curl up in the sun in my mom’s office.

I would love for you to stop by and visit. I’m a sweetheart and will wiggle my entire body until you pet me.
