Story
This sweet girl Winnie captures your heart instantly. She came from a hurting situation with Little or no interaction creating her to be fearful of people and completely terrified to be outside. So, she will be a work in progress and we're taking it slow to help build her confidence and trust. Each day there are successes in the next day there are setbacks. We are told she is about 9 years old; she has her vetting; we are trying to give her a little time before we take her into our vet. She does great with the other Pups (which both are ATO4P Pups Beaux and Groucho). Her foster family is working on her house breaking. Since it's evident that she has always been inside probably crated. Her comfort/security is being in the crate, we are working on building her confidence outside of the crate. Last night was the first night she slept outside of the crate, we love the small wins. She gives you that look Android can't help to fall in love with her. So, for now, it's all about showing her and letting her be a dog... and enjoy the simple things in life, like the beautiful sun or the beautiful smelling flowers.

Story
Meet Misty — a playful, curious 9-year-old soft coated Wheaton Terrier ready for her forever home! Misty’s story began in a Texas shelter, where she spent about a month before coming into rescue. During that time, she lost weight and battled kennel cough. She also had surgery to remove some mammary chain tumors and a tumor near the base of her tail– all of which were luckily benign! Thankfully, she’s made a full recovery and is thriving now — healthy, happy, and weighing 21.5 lbs. She eats from a slow-feed bowl and gets three small meals a day to help her maintain a healthy weight and routine. She does shed a little bit and is not hypoallergenic. This smart and affectionate girl loves her people and enjoys being part of the action. She may seem timid at first, but after you throw her favorite toy (her squeaky ball), or give her ear scratches, she warms up right away. She loves being with her people and will play fetch all day if you let her! A family that’s home often or can include her in daily life would make her happiest. While she gets along with other dogs, she would do best as the only dog or with a calm, submissive canine companion. Misty can be a little protective of her favorite person or toys, so supervised interactions to keep everyone safe and comfortable are encouraged at first meeting. She’s learning to walk nicely on a leash, loves to sniff new scents on her adventures, and rides beautifully tethered in the back seat. A securely fenced yard would be ideal for her to safely explore and stretch her legs (and play fetch!). Misty has some IVDD (intervertebral disc disease), which causes a bit of weakness in her back legs, but she gets around just fine and enjoys her walks, playtime, and exploring the yard. She has to take it slow going up and down stairs, but she continues to gain strength in her back legs every day! After everything she’s overcome, Misty is ready to find her forever family — one that will appreciate her resilient spirit, loyal heart, and joyful personality.
