Story
Someone cruelly tied Drew to a gate and drove away, leaving her terrified and alone. She was so frightened that she wouldn’t let anyone near her. Orange County Animal Control was called to help. Using a catch pole, they carefully loaded Drew into their vehicle and brought her to their facility.
For the week Drew was there, she remained shut down—too scared to take treats or respond to affection. Whenever the other dogs barked, she would retreat to the back of her kennel, overwhelmed. Because of her fear and withdrawn behavior, the shelter deemed Drew “unadoptable” and scheduled her for euthanasia.
But we couldn't let her story end like that.
We brought Drew into our care to give her the chance she so clearly deserved. Her first stop was our trusted veterinarian, who quickly sent us a photo of her calmly walking on a leash. Just an hour later, the vet called, gushing about how sweet Drew is—once she feels safe. She just needs a little time and patience to begin trusting people.
Drew prefers a calm, stable environment. She doesn't get along with other dogs and may react to aggressive behavior, though she pays no mind to dogs who leave her alone. Because of this, Drew would thrive best in an adult-only home without other pets.
With patience and love, Drew has the potential to become a devoted and gentle companion. Will you give her the second chance she’s been waiting for?
