My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Micheal is a Hurricane Florence survivor. He is also a hero. You see, he lived in a back yard in NC with his partner Flo. She is an older blind Akita. When the flood waters began to rise, and overwhelm the yard they lived in, they had no choice but to start swimming. This is where the hero comes in, he swam with her, stayed with her, and in the pitch darkness of a raging hurricane, stayed with her and found a safe place to land. 3 miles from their home. He found an elevated porch and helped Flo get there. He would swim out during the day into the dark dirty waters, and find food to bring back to her and feed her. When we were in NC and we saw them in the shelter and heard their story, we just had to rescue them together. They have been with us for a year now. Both were HW positive, loaded with worms, ticks, and fleas. They had soars all over their bodies. After a year with us, it is Micheals turn to shine and to be a dog who can simply enjoy each day being a spoiled boy, laying grass under the sun, and being the center of someone's universe. If you wish to meet this very sweet boy, let us know, and we will arrange a meet and greet for you. He is still shy, and the abuse he must have suffered from has not yet left his soul. But he is trusting, loving, and a good boy. We would love to see him find his happy forever after home, where he will be loved and spoiled for the rest of his long life.
