Story

Do you love shy dogs? Are you looking to be a part of a very special rescue story?  Three puppies were left behind at a high kill shelter in Texas. These dogs were beyond terrified at the shelter to the point you could walk by their kennel and not even know they were in there as they would curl up into the smallest ball they could. It was clear to us and the shelter volunteers these dogs had NEVER known love from a human. Time kept ticking and they were getting closer to being euthanized.They had merely a few hours left when we saw a cry for help to get them out of the shelter.  The thought crossed my mind that these puppies would die never knowing love, and in a state of being terrified. Although they each would need more than the typical foster can give, it was a challenge we were willing to take in order to prove to these puppies that they deserve to be loved on.  Mango and his siblings Kiwi & Berry each traveled to Massachusetts about 3 months ago.Upon arrival none of them had never gone for a walk on a leash and it seemed like an impossible task. Within days, his foster had him going for daily walks and doing ALL his potty business outside well on leash. This is huge for a shy dog! Although he is only 7 months old, he isn't exactly your typical puppy upon first meeting. He'd prefer to quietly observe then be in the center of the action. Mango is the last of this trio to remain in foster. Both Berry & Kiwi have transitioned great into their adoptive homes and have proven what easy dogs they are. ABOUT MANGO:Sweet Mango doesn’t require much exercise just like his siblings. Socializing and using his bravery really tires him out! He would much prefer to quietly observe life from his crate then be jumping all over your guests and family members. At about 30 lbs and 9 months old, he is perfectly house broken and crate trained.  Mango is very adaptable and sometimes submissive around other dogs. He has met all different kinds of dogs and always been very appropriate. He isn't your typical puppy that is looking to wrestle with other dogs just yet but is very polite around new furry friends even if they are in his space.  His foster mom has given her an incredible foundation in training and has taught Mango how to jump into the car (she rides really well), and taken him through lots of confidence building training. Mango is good with cats, other dogs, and very submissive to people. Kids?  We think a home with older kids would be best, so that no doors or gates can be mistakenly left open.
