My personality

My story

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

Hello world,
My name is Esmerelda and I am a beautiful Shepherd looking for an active family who also loves to spend time watching TV or sitting by the fire reading.

I was dumped in a rural community. While wandering around, I walking up to a trailer in the fall (2024). The nice man who lives there is older and on a fixed income with a heart of gold. He made me a warm soft bed with food and fresh water. One fall morning when the man came out to bring me food & water, I had a surprise for him. During the night I had given birth to 4 puppies.

When my babies became old enough for a home of their own, he made sure everyone got great homes. Thanksgiving time it was my turn to go to the vet and get me ready for adoption.

While getting spayed and all my vaccines, it was discovered I am heartworm positive. Since that time to present, I have been treated and am heartworm negative.

Please request an application, alittlelonger2home@gmail.com, to begin the adoption process.

More about this rescue

My name is Carla Carlton. We (my husband and I) are retired militay. He served in the Air Force for 25 years. We have always done community service. So, when we got ready to retire, we found a place we wanted to live and bought a home. Well, the town we lived in has/had a high kill shelter. This broke our hearts.
Around this same time, I met a lady who fostered for Friends of Homeless Animals, RI. One day I got a call from FOHA there was a poodle in our shelter and he was on the short list. I went and pulled him. Roie (FOHA), helped set me up to foster and list our orphans to adopt with families who really wanted them. I am not sure how long ago it was, 16-18 years, I think. The rest is history. Through them and Mountain Pet Rescue, CO (and a few others in CO, UT, IA, IL, OR, CA, MS...), we have placed over 2500 dogs/ puppies and cats.
