My name is Candy!

Candy is still in need of a rescue or an approved home, she is doing terrific in her foster home and is so ready for a family of her own. She is approximately 2-3 years old and weighs about 55-60 pounds. Candy and her two puppies were found last winter living under an abandoned house. The family who owned the property had been feeding them and trying to get them to come out from under the house. Animal control was finally called and Candy, Cody and Finley were brought to the shelter Feb. 28 2024.They were all frightened and rightfully so; who knows how long they had been living under the house without any human contact.
Candy, Cody and Finley stayed at the shelter for a while but they weren’t getting much better. They needed more human contact and needed to be able to interact with other confident dogs. They did make it to a foster home, where they started making great progress. It took some time, but they have learned to trust people, learned what it’s like to live in a house and what it’s like to be part of a family.
Cody and Finley were taken into rescue, and they are both doing very well! Now it’s Candy’s turn! She has been such a good mama, taking such great care of her boys while they were on their own. It’s time someone took care of her!!! Candy will do best in a home with other calm, confident dogs. She doesn’t like dogs who are too rambunctious and play too much.
For the same reason, she probably would not do well in a home with small children.
Candy will need a fenced in yard to keep her safe. A small area will be fine. Candy needs someone who has experience with scared dogs who have not been around a lot of people. She will need to be in a quiet and calm environment while she learns about the world and learns to fully trust people.
