Brinks last week, I was found out there all alone… and sadly, no one came looking for me. When I first got here, I was scared. Really scared. I barked at everyone… I didn’t trust anyone… I didn’t understand what was happening or why I was here. But give a dog a little time, a little patience, and a little love… and things start to change. Once I let my guard down and the volunteers were able to get me inside, I showed them who I really am. I slept… and slept… and slept some more. My body was tired. I’m a little older, and it’s clear I haven’t had the easiest life. I came in thin and worn down… but yesterday, something special happened… I smiled. And around here, that smile means everything. It tells us there’s still hope. It tells us there’s love left to give. It tells us I want my person. I’m a sweetheart once I know you. I’m just looking for someone to be patient with me and show me I’m safe again. I don’t seem to mind other dogs, but I would need to meet any potential siblings. I haven’t been cat tested yet. More than anything… I just want a soft place to land. A home where I can rest, feel safe, and finally be loved the way I deserve. If you think you could be my person, please submit an application to: Healthyheartsproject.org/adopt A team member will reach out to schedule a meet and greet. Please share me… my new beginning is out there somewhere.
