My story

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

Aurora’s life hasn’t been easy. She came from a hoarding situation where she was locked in an outdoor pen, the door zip-tied shut, left isolated and alone. When she entered our program, we weren’t sure what to expect—but what we’ve seen is a brave dog slowly learning how to trust again. 💛
Since moving into her foster home, Aurora has started to shine. With the help of her foster family’s dogs, she’s discovering that people can be kind and safe. She loves making new dog friends, lounging in the sun, and sneaking into her fosters mom bed for secret cuddles. Each day, she shows us a little more of her gentle and curious personality. Aurora still has progress to make, and she’ll need a family who understands that her journey is one of patience and trust.
Her perfect home will have:
🐾 At least one friendly dog (the more, the better!)
🏡 A secure, fenced yard
❤️ A family committed to giving her the time and space she needs
Aurora isn’t your “typical” dog—but she is special. With love, patience, and the right environment, we know she will thrive. 🌸

Aurora is ready for adoption. Could you be the one to give her the safe, loving home she’s been waiting for?

More about this rescue

Dogs Deserve Better is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to freeing the chained or penned dog and bringing our best friend into the home and family.

Our mission is to provide a better life for abused, neglected and abandoned canines; especially those which are chained or penned without human companionship. We strive to accomplish this through advocating for humane legislation; promoting spay and neuter; educating communities on animal welfare; and rescuing and finding loving inside homes for canines.
