About Sugar

Sugar has an incredible story that embodies resilience and hope. She was rescued from a high-kill shelter after suffering serious injuries from a fall, likely thrown from a third-story balcony. Initially, Sugar couldn't move her back legs and developed painful sores, but she didn't give up. With the dedication of her foster mom, who researched ways to help her regain mobility, Sugar defied the odds. Despite what two veterinarians said, this brave girl took her first steps and eventually learned to run and play with other dogs. At around 37 lbs and just about 2.5 years old, Sugar is housebroken and crate trained, bursting with love and affection. She gets along well with cats, dogs, and children, making her a great fit for a loving home. Sugar is ready to share her joy with a family of her own. Your new best friend is just one click away.
