My name is Bloom!

Meet Bloom, The Flower Still Becoming
2 years old, Terrier/Pit Bull Mix, Female, ~46 lbs, Not yet spayed
Her Story in Bloom
Some dogs arrive at the shelter already in full color.
Bloom arrived as a seed.
She came to us thin, unsure, and a little afraid of the world,
a dog who had known love once and then suddenly did not.
But even then, she carried a softness in her eyes,
a sweetness trying to grow through the cracks.
And grow she has.
Outside her kennel, Bloom is gentle sunshine,
sweet, playful, easy to walk, always wearing her bright smile.
She runs with joy, leans in for cuddles,
and gives the kind of warming, wrap around hugs
that make you forget for a moment
what she has been through.
She lived with other dogs before
and here at the shelter she greets them with quiet curiosity
and calm acceptance.
If you have resident dogs,
a meet and greet is all she asks,
a moment to bloom safely beside them.
Bloom is still learning that new people can be kind.
Sometimes she startles, sometimes she hesitates,
but with a slow approach and a gentle voice,
she melts,
soft as petals after rain.
Every week, she grows a little braver.
Every day, a little more light reaches her.
She has already survived the cold season of her life.
Now she just needs someone
willing to give her the space, the time,
and the love
to blossom into everything she was meant to be.
Bloom is not finished blooming.
Not even close.
She is a flower still opening
and she is waiting for a heart
who sees beauty in becoming.
