Story
Meet Monty! 🐾 Monty is a 3-year-old, 40-pound mixed-breed boy with a big heart and a very cautious approach to the world. He’s a nervous Nelly who does not believe in instant friendships. His inner protector is convinced he needs to keep everyone safe, but his courage is mostly theoretical—usually accompanied by full-body trembling and a very strategic six-foot distance from whatever he has decided might be dangerous. Think security system with anxiety. Monty absolutely loves other dogs and will need a confident, friendly canine companion in his future home. Having another dog helps him feel safe, secure, and grounded. He is also cat-friendly and horse-friendly! Monty is happiest at home and would prefer to keep his adventures close to the couch. Walks and car rides are firmly in the “thanks, but no thanks” category. He is not looking for a hiking buddy—he’s looking for someone who appreciates the finer things in life, like a backyard, a comfortable couch, and staying home together. Once Monty decides you’re safe, everything changes. Give him time, patience, and the freedom to build trust at his own pace, and you’ll discover an absolute sweetheart who craves affection and attention. He bonds deeply with his people, loves hard, and will happily become your little shadow, keeping a very close eye on you to make sure everything is okay. Monty can also occasionally become worried about things that seem completely mysterious to his humans. The wind? The weather? A sound nobody else noticed? A ghost? We may never know. What we do know is that he needs people who can reassure him without making a big production out of his worries. Monty would thrive in a calm, patient, understanding home with another friendly dog, where his quirks are met with compassion and maybe a good sense of humor. He needs someone who will let him set the pace, respect his boundaries, and celebrate the little victories. If you’re willing to meet Monty where he is, he’ll give you something pretty special in return: loyalty, affection, a deep bond, and a lifetime of devotedly watching you to make sure you’re okay. Monty may not be everyone’s dog—but for the right person, he could be exactly the dog they’ve been looking for. ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC

Story
Cookie is about 2 years old, 30 pounds, and an absolute sweetheart looking for her person. Once she decides you’re her person, she’s all in. She is a true Velcro dog who wants to be near you and will quickly become your best friend. Cookie is wonderful in the house. She knows how to settle in and relax, and she doesn’t need to be entertained every minute of the day. She’s also a rockstar in her crate, making her an easy girl to have around. And if there’s food involved, count her in! Cookie LOVES to eat. When meeting new people, Cookie prefers to approach them on her own terms. She’ll sniff, decide you’re okay, and then happily accept pets. Once you’re approved, you’re officially her friend! Cookie can be nervous around some young children, so we’re looking for an adult-only home where she can feel comfortable and confident. She’s also an athletic girl who would enjoy walks, hikes, and exploring with her family, and she may even have fun trying agility or becoming a running buddy. But her athleticism isn’t what defines her. Cookie is happiest simply being with her people. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, devoted dog who can enjoy an adventure but is equally happy to come home, settle in, and hang out with you, Cookie may be your girl. She’s not looking for a marathon runner. She’s looking for her person.

Story
SOS!! Cinnamon Sugar SOS - - she was only given 1 month of foster. Meet Cinnamon Sugar, a 2–3-year-old, 50-lb sweetheart who has spent far too long simply trying to survive after someone seemingly left her behind. Everything about Cinnamon tells us she was once someone’s dog. She is incredibly well-behaved, potty trained in the yard, wonderful on a leash, perfect in the car, and knows exactly how to live alongside people. At some point, the family she trusted disappeared, leaving this incredibly sweet girl to fend for herself. Cinnamon stayed around the same neighborhood, seemingly believing it was still her home. But life there became increasingly dangerous. Feral street pack dogs bullied and chased her, neighbors no longer wanted her around, and recently a loose dog even attacked her. Somehow, through all of it, Cinnamon remained gentle, trusting, and desperate for affection. Thankfully, one kind neighbor has offered Cinnamon a safe foster home — but only for one month. We now have a small window to find this deserving girl the forever family she has been waiting for. Cinnamon is spayed, vaccinated, 4DX negative, fully vetted, and up to date on preventatives. She loves other dogs, has lived peacefully around cats, and is truly the kind of easy, loving companion who just wants to belong. Cinnamon is currently in Puerto Rico, but she can be adopted anywhere in the U.S. Like all of our Puerto Rico rescues, we will arrange her flight off the island to her adoptive family, and her transport is included in her adoption fee. Someone may have abandoned Cinnamon once, but she never stopped believing in people. Now she has one month of safety while we find the person who will finally show her that this time, she is home forever.
