Esperanza

　　Male Black Persian Mix

　　Est. Age on Arrival (12/15/17) - 8 years

　　You wouldnt BELIEVE what Ive been through since I arrived! Id been a stray for a while when I was rescued, and living outside certainly wasnt kind to me! My lovely long black fur had mats the size of golf balls, I had sores on my body and tail (which had to be amputated!), and lots of other dings here and there. Happily, the good folks here have taken care of all that, and although at the moment, I look a bit like a Schnauzer with my docked tail and shaved coat, thatll all change as I recover! Im a sweet approximately 8-year-old Persian mix gentleman (despite the feminine-sounding name

　　although it means hope in Spanish, so thats apt!), whos waiting for the love of my life to appear!
