Story
Meet Angel: A Gentle Soul Looking for a Fresh StartAngel is a 1-year-old mixed breed with a heart full of potential. She came to us as a stray, frightened and shut down, and it was clear she had experienced a difficult past. Since spending time in an experienced foster home, Angel has begun to learn that people can be kind and that the world isn`t such a scary place. With patience and understanding, she has made incredible progress and is ready to find a family of her own.Angel is a sweet, sensitive girl who forms deep bonds with the people she trusts. She is looking for a calm, adult-only home where she can continue to build her confidence without the hustle and bustle of young children.She has done wonderfully in foster care and continues to make progress every day. Angel travels exceptionally well in the car and is currently working on her housetraining. She enjoys going for walks and walks nicely on a leash, though she can be a bit of a stop-and-go walker as she takes in her surroundings. She has also been learning to calmly walk through doorways and enter and exit her crate and the car without rushing, and she has made tremendous improvements.Because of her past, Angel can still become anxious when exiting a vehicle and may try to rush out when a door is opened. Her future family should always keep a secure hold on her leash during these moments while she continues to build confidence.Angel is searching for a patient adopter who understands that trust is earned over time. In return, they will gain a loyal, gentle companion whose quiet resilience and loving nature make every milestone that much more rewarding. With kindness, consistency, and a peaceful home, Angel is ready to leave her past behind and begin the next chapter of her life.

Story
Gibbons came in as a shy boy. He was thin, and tested positive for lyme. He was placed in a loving foster home and treated and while there he had the chance to build confidence and learn how to be the best boy! Gibbons is ready for his forever family! Here are some notes from his foster mom:`He`s a sweet loving boy! He`s pretty much house trained now (5 hour intervals through the day and 8.5 hours overnight) and is learning his vocabulary of sit, stay, leave it, let`s go, no, etc. His leash manners are still a work in progress as he can get really stimulated with all the sights and sounds of the farm. He`s eating well and finishes all his food by bedtime. He will eat on his own but I noticed he eats much more when I`m standing with him and encouraging him to eat.`Another great update from Gibbons and his foster family.. this time Gibbons has written his new potential family a letter.. Dear Forever Family,Hi I`m Gibbons. I’m a very special Whippet cross looking for my forever home, and I can’t wait to tell you a little about myself.First things first: I’m fun! I have a happy heart, a curious mind, and a whole lot of love to give. I’m the kind of dog who wants to know what’s happening, what you’re doing, where we’re going, and whether I can be part of it all. Life is an adventure, and I’m ready to explore it with you!I’m energetic and playful, with a lovely Whippet side that means I enjoy a good zoomie, a nice run, and a chance to stretch my legs. But after I’ve had my fun, I’m also very happy to settle in, relax, and soak up affection. A cozy spot, a kind human, and some gentle attention? Sounds perfect to me.I’m a loving dog who enjoys being around my fosters and building a bond with my family. I’m curious about the world and eager to learn, especially when treats, praise, and kindness are involved. I’d love a family who will continue to help me grow, show me new things, and celebrate all the wonderful things that make me who I am.I promise to bring laughter, companionship, and plenty of happy moments into your home. I may be a little silly, a little speedy, a little curious about everything, and in need of a little more training, but that’s all part of my charm!If you’re looking for a loyal friend with a great personality, a playful spirit, and lots of love to share, I might just be the dog you’ve been waiting for.I can’t wait to meet you!With lots of tail wags and love,Your future best frie
