My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Angel is thought to be a red merle Australian cattle dog mix who is 3-4 years old. She must have been dumped as a young puppy as she is not socialized to humans. She was trapped while running with two larger dogs. The dogs hunted chickens and cats to survive. We are so grateful that Angel got into the trap because the other two dogs were shot and killed by irate neighbors.
Angel is 28 lbs and very healthy. She is stout and compact and would be great as a hiking companion or just a good little dog to sleep in your bed.
Angel is making slow progress in becoming a pet. We have built a good relationship, and I can touch her all over and pick her up. She is still not use to a leash, but she comes when called and is very obedient. She is very food motivated and that will be the key to continuing her socialization.
Angel lives at a pet hotel and is exposed to many dogs each day. She is playful and confident with other dogs. When she first meets another dog, she wants to assert her dominance. She needs mild correction and then she can be off leash and playing in no time.
Angel cannot be with cats.
Angel is getting more and more accustomed to strangers every day. It takes time to develop a relationship with her. Let’s face it Angel needs some love. She will need a patient, competent leader to continue her progress.
**Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, vet visits, deworming, and shots. **

More about this rescue
We are a non-profit animal rescue group.
We started out as just a fund, at our local vet, to help pay for operations, etc. for animals in need. Now we rescue animals in need: injured, sick, old, or dying. We give them a second chance and the best life we can until a forever home can be found. We take animals most other rescues turn down because we believe all life is worth our efforts.
Our organization is all volunteer and foster based, because we do not have a shelter. We do not euthanize our animals to make room for more. We run totally on donations and are willing to take any type [money, food, toys, bedding, crates, etc.]. Donations can be mailed to PO Box 2371, Marion NC 28752.
