Story
How this pet arrived: Chapo was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on March 2, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Chapo! Chapo may have a big name, but he's really a soft, sensitive guy who prefers a slow and steady approach to life. He's the kind of pup who likes to observe first, then join in when he feels safe. He's a bit of a "quiet communicator," so getting to know Chapo is all about noticing the little things. His body language can be subtle, and he'll thrive with adopters who enjoy learning his unique signals and celebrating those small moments of trust. It's like unlocking a secret code - and it makes the bond you build with him all the more special. Chapo may also have some hearing loss, so he benefits from calm, consistent interactions and people who are really tuned in to him. Keeping his world small and predictable at first will help him settle in and build confidence-think cozy routines and low-key days. He'll do best in a calm home with children over 10 and will need a dog-to-dog introduction if there's another pup. With patience, understanding, and a gentle approach, Chapo is sure to let his guard down and become a loyal, devoted companion-one who just needed a little extra time to shine. Shy/Fearful Dog: Chapo requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about him. Primary Color: Fawn Secondary Color: White Weight: 64.2 Age: 3yrs 11mths 2wks

Meet Bella Bella is a 3-year-old compact bully girl with a big heart and an even bigger personality.

Now that she’s safe, Bella is ready to find the loving home she truly deserves. Bella is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and absolutely loves people. She’s the type of dog who wants to be close to her humans and soak up all the love and attention she can get. She’s also very playful and full of energy, so she would thrive with a family that enjoys walks, playtime, and an active lifestyle. Bella gets excited when meeting new people and does jump up to say hello. Bella is dog friendly and does well with other dogs, though she tends to be more on the playful and energetic side. At around 50 pounds, she’s compact, strong, and full of personality, the perfect mix of fun and affection. After raising her puppies and surviving being abandoned, Bella is more than ready for a home where she will never be left behind again. She’s looking for a family who will love her for the joyful, playful, affectionate girl she is.

Story
Mochaccina Age: 3 years | Gender: Female Mochaccina is a sweet, gentle, and affectionate girl who absolutely loves people. She gets very excited to see her humans and often greets you with a happy hug. She’s calm, docile, and makes wonderful company. She does well with other dogs and enjoys their company, walks nicely on a leash, and loves being outdoors. Mochaccina would need a cat-free home, as she tends to chase cats. One of her most charming features is her adorable tongue, which healed that way long ago and gives her extra character. She enjoys chew toys and is learning great habits every day. She’s a little sensitive to the cold and loves sunny spots and cozy blankets. Mochaccina would thrive in a loving home looking for an affectionate, people-oriented companion. ##2609174##

Story
*Courtesy Post* Meet Espi. A gentle soul learning that the world can be kind. She is about 5-6 years old. She was found severely starved on an abandoned property, left to fend for herself. Despite everything she’s been through, Espi has shown us that her heart is still open. She is a very sweet girl, she just needs a little time to feel safe with new people. She is shy at first and takes some time to trust. The best way to win her over is actually to give her space and let her come to you. Fast movements toward her face or coming towards her too fast can make her nervous so patience and calm energy goes a long way with this girl. Once she realizes she’s safe, she will ask you for pets by giving you her paw. She is house trained, crate trained and does well with other dogs. While she isn’t necessarily looking for a constant playmate, she enjoys hanging out and coexisting with other dogs. Espi is very food motivated. She hasn’t quite mastered taking treats gently from your hand yet, but she absolutely loves playing catch with treats and will happily participate in a snack toss session. Because Espi is still learning to feel safe in the world, she would do best in a calm, adult only home. Older, respectful environments where people understand that trust takes time will allow her to thrive. She can live with or without other dogs. She just needs someone patient enough to let her unfold at her own pace. If you believe in giving dogs a second chance and understand the time and compassion they deserve, Espi might be the girl you’ve been waiting for. If you are interested in meeting Espi, please fill out an application on our website below! https://www.underdogheroes.org/our-dogs
