Story
💙 Azriel is still waiting… and we can’t believe it. 💙At 6 years old and 65 pounds, Azriel has moved past the puppy chaos but still has plenty of energy and personality to share. He’s the kind of dog who will happily enjoy a long walk and then come home and proudly toss his toys around like it’s his full-time job. And those zoomies? Absolutely elite.Azriel does best with dogs his size or larger and needs a home without small dogs or cats. He thrives in a home with structure, consistency, and someone who understands that confident, active dogs need both mental and physical exercise outlets.He isn’t just looking for a place to stay — he’s looking for his person. The one who sees his big personality and even bigger heart.Could you be the one Azriel is waiting for?📍 Apply today through New Hope Pet Rescue:https://www.newhopepetrescue.com/adoptPlease check out our adoption process & on-line application here: https://www.newhopepetrescue.com/Adoption Fee for dogs cover the following vetting:1.

Odin needs a home that is patient and willing to put the time in. He is looking for a home where he can be an only pet, and that there is no small kiddos. He loves to go for walks, but his favorite thing to do is to bask out in the sunshine watching the yard for squirrels. Oden is a big love bug once he knows you, but he does take some time to warm up. A quiet home with little traffic would be great for this boy.Please check out our adoption process & on-line application here: https://www.newhopepetrescue.com/Adoption Fee for dogs cover the following vetting:1.
