🎆 This 4th of July, Give Snow the Freedom She Deserves 🎆 Meet Snow, an 8-year-old sweetheart who’s been through more than any dog ever should.

She’s been nothing but loving and loyal ever since. She craves human connection and just wants someone to sit by, follow around, and love with her whole heart. 🐾 Snow is happiest in a calm home without other pets or small children. She wants to be your one and only, and trust us — she’ll make sure your heart feels full. 🇺🇸 This Independence Day, let’s help Snow find the freedom and family she’s always deserved. She’s ready to trade pain for peace, and neglect for a new beginning. 💙 Could Snow be your firework this 4th of July? 📍 Effingham, IL 📞 217-347-5695

🌟 Meet Venus 🌟Now a year old, Venus is ready to shine in her own spotlight! This gorgeous brindle girl is full of playful energy and endless affection for her favorite people. She loves to stay active, soak up attention, and be part of whatever her humans are doing.Venus can be a bit selective with other dogs, so she’d do best with slow introductions or as the only pet in the home. She’s also more comfortable around adults than children—she just prefers a calmer, more predictable environment where she can relax and be her wonderful self.Venus has come a long way from being a devoted young mama, and now it’s her turn to be spoiled. If you’re looking for a loving, spirited companion to share your adventures (and your couch), Venus is your girl! 💕
