Stinky had been brought to the shelter a few months ago. She and her brother were found inside a taped box on a logging road. Stinky made her debut at PAWS, sporting classic formalwear — a tuxedo and tail. Though she may have been wearing spats, she hasn’t gotten into any spats as she is extremely shy. Stinky sticks pretty much to herself. Her introversion might be a result of earlier trauma, or it might just be her personality. In any case, she’ll need a loving home with plenty of patience. Stinky is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations and available for adoption through PAWS of Grays Harbor. They are open by appointment only at this time. Please call 360-533-1141 or visit www.pawsgh.org to fill out an adoption application. You can also find them on Facebook and Instagram. Those over 55 years of age receive a 20% discount on adoption fees. Stinky does not stink.
