About me Hi! I'm Widget! I've called the shelter home since February 2024 and would love nothing more than a home with YOU! My foster mom says I'm very gentle and sweet. I love back scratches and treats--who doesn't?! I'm already neutered so that means I can go home with you today and we can begin our lives together immediately!
