Story
Hello my name is Wink. At just 8 months old, I’m a big, handsome 70 pound pup with an even bigger heart, searching for a forever home to call my own. My journey hasn’t been easy—I was surrendered to a crowded, high-risk shelter in San Antonio, Texas, for reasons I’ll never understand. The noise, the stress, the uncertainty… it was overwhelming. My time there was running out, and I needed someone to see me—to believe I was worth saving.Every day, I did my best to shine. I kept my kennel clean, wagged my tail nonstop, and greeted everyone with gentle affection, hoping they’d choose me. But no one did. Maybe it was my size, or my age, or my right eye. I have a condition called microphthalmia, which means my right eye is smaller and doesn’t see well—but it doesn’t slow me down or cause me pain, and the vet says it doesn’t need to be removed.The shelter called me Skunk, but my foster dad saw something different—he named me Wink, and it fits me perfectly.Just hours before I was set to be euthanized due to overcrowding, Project Hope Animal Rescue stepped in and saved my life. From there, I began a 1,200+ mile journey north, carried by kind-hearted volunteers who gave me a second chance.Now, I’m ready to start my next chapter.I’m a sweet, affectionate boy with the perfect balance of playful puppy energy and gentle companionship. I adore people and have a special way of leaning into you for pets—it’s like a full-body hug. I may be big, but I’m all soft on the inside and thrive on love, attention, and being part of the family.I’m still young and eager to learn. I’m very treat-motivated and want to make my people happy, which makes training fun and rewarding. I’ve already learned how to shake and I’m getting the hang of “sit.” I walk well on a leash and am excited to keep learning with someone who will guide me with patience and positivity.I’d do best in an active home where I have room to run, play, and grow—a fenced yard would be required. More than anything, I just want to be included in everyday life, whether that’s going on adventures, playing outside, or relaxing close to my favorite people.The basics:• Fully vetted• Potty trained• Dog & cat friendly• Working on crate trainingAll I need now is someone willing to take a chance on me—and in return, I’ll give you a lifetime of loyalty, love, and companionship.Wink is fully vetted, vaccinated, neutered & microchippedHis adoption fee is $300.If you have any questions or concerns about Wink,  please email us at projecthoperescue@gmail.com.

Story
Meet Dove,A curious and playful 10-month-old Great Pyrenees and Retriever mix with the cutest face and deepest love of her stuffed toys! This girl is about 30 pounds right now, but needs to fill out some in weight. She absolutely loves spending time outside but also can entertain herself for hours with her stuffed toys and chew bones. She is shy with loud noises and needs to continue building confidence, but her foster family was able to quickly potty train and crate train her in a matter of days. She will do just about anything for a treat! She’s great on a leash and loves car rides. Dove will need help from her forever family to continue working with her on leaving people’s hands and feet alone and not treat them as toys. She knows sit, down, and kennel up and is eager to learn more!Dove lives with 2 other dogs and loves to play, often getting zoomies just from being outside. Her ideal home would have lots of toys, a fenced yard, and either another dog to live with or a very active family. Due to her puppy stages of biting hands and feet, a home with no kids or older kids (teens and older) would be best.Dove is fully vetted, spayed, microchipped. Her adoption fee is $350.00.If you have any questions not answered in this bio, email us at projecthoperescue@gmail.com, or to fill out an app to apply to adopt, go to our website at www.projecthoperescue.orgApril 26, 2026, 8:52 am

Story
Noelle is a sweet little wild child with lots of puppy energy! She loves to run around in the snow, plays with her foster brothers constantly, and snuggle up after a long day of play. The vet believes she is around 11 months old and we think potentially shepherd, lab, and maybe some husky. She weighs about 40 lbs. Her eyes are blue and brown! We aren’t entirely sure what her past looked like prior to Project Hope, though we do know that she has some bullet shrapnel in her pelvis. This has not stopped her from being active and she doesn’t appear to have any trauma from it. She loves everyone she has come into contact with! For a girl with a past we can only imagine, she is such a playful and happy girl!Noelle would be a wonderful dog for anyone looking for an intelligent and fun puppy! She makes her foster parents laugh daily with her goofy quirks.Great with other dogs, fosters have mentioned she leaves the cats alone and doesn’t seem to bother them. Hasn’t been tested with children, she has a shepherd play style and enjoys herding (we have been working on this and it is improving).Noelle is spayed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $350.00. If you would like more information about Noelle, please email us at projecthoperescue@gmail.com.

I’m working on my manners (sometimes I get too excited and jump up), but with a little patience and consistency, I’m learning every day.My dream home?A fenced-in yard would be perfect for all my zoomies and sniffari adventures! I’d do great with another playful pup or an active family who wants a loyal companion. I'm happiest when I'm with my people or four-legged friends—I'm not a fan of being alone for too long.If you're looking for a sweet, energetic buddy who will love you endlessly and make every day brighter, I might just be your guy.Let’s make forever happen — come meet me and fall in love!I’m fully-vetted, housebroken, crate-trained and ready to join your family with an adoption fee of $300.
