Story
Sweet Penny loves females and will find “her person” and won’t leave your side. She barks a lot at men and will hide. She gets along great with my big dog and adores our cat. She is not potty trained. She loves to bury next to and sleep with her person. She’s super duper sweet and it breaks my heart to let her go but she needs someone that is home more for her. She loves to snuggle and run. Perfect on walks. A perfect t dog besides the potty training.

Please visit our web site at https://tarasdream.org/adopt to fill out an adoption application for this pet and for more info about our adoption process.  Meet Hudson! Hudson is a 2-year-old with a big heart, short little legs, and a whole lot of potential. This adorable low rider may look like a big dog at first glance, but his stubby legs make him extra cute—and he’s the perfect size for being your constant companion. Hudson hasn’t had many good experiences with people, so he’s understandably shy and unsure when it comes to humans. But he’s learning that people can be kind, patient, and trustworthy, especially with the help of his friendly, confident dog friends. Having other dogs around has helped Hudson come out of his shell and feel a little braver about exploring the world. As he becomes more comfortable, we’re already seeing glimpses of the sweet and affectionate dog hiding underneath that shy exterior. Hudson is learning to enjoy spending time with people, and it’s clear that there’s so much love waiting to come out once he feels safe. Hudson would do best in a home with another friendly, confident dog who can help show him the ropes. He’ll also need a patient family who understands that trust takes time and is willing to let Hudson move at his own pace. He may not be the dog who runs up to greet you on day one—but give him some time, TLC, and a safe place to land, and you may just discover an incredibly sweet companion. Hudson doesn’t need someone to “fix” him. He just needs someone willing to believe in him, give him time, and show him that life with people can be pretty wonderful. And once he learns that, we think this little low rider is going to be one very special best friend.
