My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hope is an affectionate, protective, and loyal Staffordshire Terrier mix. She's about 3 years old (4/2015) and weighs approximately 40 lbs. She has a snowy white coat with a few tan freckles on her ears. Hope was dumped on an elementary school campus. When the groundskeepers found her, they tied a rope around her neck and drug her out of the gates, forcing her onto a busy street. She was thin and both ears were horribly infected, but she has recovered quite well.

Hope loves to play ball, frisbee, and take walks. She loves to meet new people, and is very good with children of all ages. She gets a long well with all dogs, but she is NOT at all a fan of felines. Her foster mom says. "The only thing that I have seen is if my lab stays by me for long periods of time, she will get in his face and bark at him. I have never seen her aggressive, but he is a very laid back dog."

While not completely deaf, Hope does have low hearing abilities. She is quite good on picking up things happening around her with her eyes and vibrations. Her low hearing is not something you pick up on right away. She has adapted to it very well and even knows hand signals. The ideal home for Hope would be one with one other dog about her size or just her as an only dog. She loves attention, loves to be by your side and usually is leaning on you or has one paw touching you. She will be a loyal companion and all she will ask for is your love and attention.

Hope has been spayed, is up-to-date on vaccines and preventives and is house- and crate-trained. She has also had professional training and has gone above and beyond our expectations. Hope's adoption fee is $150. If you, or someone you know, are interested in adopting Hope, please fill out an adoption application on our website at: www.forgottendogs.org/adoption_application or email info.5thward@gmail.com . Thank you!
