Story

Meet Liberty – A Resilient and Loving Tripod Pup! Liberty’s name suits her perfectly—she’s a survivor who’s overcome so much and still has nothing but love to give. This brave girl was sadly shot, and while her injured leg couldn’t be saved, she hasn’t let being a tripod slow her down one bit. Liberty gets around just fine and navigates very adeptly on her 3 legs! No need to pitty this spry girl. Liberty is a total sweetheart who loves all people and lives for cuddles, belly rubs, and snuggling on the couch or bed. She’s house and crate trained, fully vetted (spayed, vaccinated, 4DX negative), and has excellent housee manners. As a hound mix, Liberty is a little vocal—but she doesn't bark for no reason. It's usually to alert you to something going on. She gets along well with small dogs and has even lived with larger dogs. Her current BFF is an XL male Great Dane but she’s a bit wary of overly bouncy dogs of get in her business without reading her signals that she is not comfortable. We're sure you understand this - this is likely feeling just a little vulnerable after recently having a leg amputated. Liberty has met a cat at the vet office and was not interested (see video) but that doesn't mean she will be great with all cats. Proper introductions will set her up for success with this. Liberty’s ideal home would be one where she can be loved on, hang out with calm canine friends (or be the center of attention as a solo dog), and soak up all the belly rubs and snuggles her heart desires. She’s got so much love to give and is more than ready for her happily ever after. Liberty weighs 53 pounds. Liberty is currently being housed with one or our parnter vest until we find a foster or adopter for her. They love her very much but we all want Liberty to be in a home environment. If you would like to adopt, please complete an application at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/ The adoption fee of $250 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip. ##2366587##

Grace

English Pointer

Female, 6 yrs 1 mo

Denver, CO

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Grace once had a job chasing birds… but now, she’s chasing sunbeams and snuggles, and honestly? She’s thriving. This 6-year-old English Pointer beauty has officially hung up her hunting boots and embraced the laid-back, backyard-lounging lifestyle. Weighing in at a lovely 45 pounds, Grace is the perfect mid-sized companion: big enough for adventure, small enough to curl up next to you without stealing the whole couch. If you’re looking for a loyal, social, and sweet companion to share your life (and any soft rugs or dog beds around), Grace might just be your girl. Currently living her best foster life, Grace gets along great with her canine foster sister and previously lived in peaceful harmony with a dog squad of all sizes plus cats. Yes, even the cats gave her the paw of approval. Grace is: Low-key and sweet – she’s more into chill time than chaos, with a cute playful zoomie thrown in. A fan of the outdoors – yard patrols, squirrel watch duty, and shady naps are her jam. A polite houseguest – sleeps soundly in her kennel and enjoys a good chew toy. Ready to love and be loved – she’s got kindness in her soul and big “thank you for rescuing me” eyes. Grace would thrive in a home where she can stretch her legs in a yard, soak in the sun, and be treated like the good girl she’s always been. Daily walks or outdoor adventures would be the perfect bonus to her already happy heart. If you would like to adopt, please complete an application at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/ The adoption fee of $200 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations.

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story

Gizmo was rescued from the streets of Texas where he was dumped by his previous owner. He languished there for a few months while a kind woman fed him eash day but was not able to take him in. Circle 2 Rescue stepped up to save this handsome boy and quickly got him to a vet. In his temporary foster home, Gizmo has been an absolute delight! His foster mom introduced him to the neighbor's puppy and Gizmo was so patient and well behaved, even though Gizmo was playing with his ball and the puppy was jumping all over him. Gizmo showed remarkable patience. He has been kind and respectiful of her young kids with closely supervised encounters and is well behaved in the house. His foster mom said he is a dream on leash and he loves to play fetch, even bringing the ball back to you! He is so happy and excited to see his foster mom when she returns from work each day from her teaching job. She said he makes her heart feel happy. These things indicate the Gizmo was likely a beloved family pet at one point in his life and he must have been so confused at being abandoned. But he hasn't let his hardship affect his happy attitude. This boy is a love!! At his vet appointment we learned that Gizmo is heart worm positive. He has completed most of the treatment protocol and just needs an appointment on May 30th. Whilte the vet was not certain of Gizmo's age, he said he is likely around 5 years of age and he weighs 57 pounds.
