Story
Courtesy post: Cookie is a 1.5-year-old, 60-lb pit bull sweetheart with a soft heart and a gentle soul. True to her name, she’s a little shy at first — but give her a moment and you’ll see her warm up into a loving, loyal companion. She’s housebroken and crate trained (she may protest briefly, but settles in nicely), and she’s been living comfortably in a home environment for several months. Cookie has met another dog in the past and did well, though slow introductions would be best as we continue learning more about her preferences. Around new people, Cookie can be initially reserved, but her sweet nature shines once she feels safe. She’s the kind of girl who just wants reassurance, consistency, and a cozy place to call her own. If you’re looking for a loving, gentle companion who just needs a little patience and a lot of love, Cookie may be your perfect match.

Story
Valerie’s journey hasn’t been easy, but she hasn’t let that dim her joyful spirit. She first came into a shelter as a tiny puppy with a badly broken leg that had to be amputated. After healing, she was adopted and thought she’d found her forever home. But two years later, she was discovered as a stray, heartbreakingly thin and alone. Hero Rescue stepped in to make sure Valerie would never be forgotten again. With plenty of love, care, and good food, she’s been blossoming in her foster home! She’s steadily gaining weight and confidence every day and is ready to start her next chapter. Valerie is about 2 years old and absolutely adores people. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and even cats. Though sometimes her playful puppy energy means she needs a gentle reminder when the cats aren’t in the mood to play! She’s nearly fully potty trained and is working hard to perfect it. Right now, she’s still building up her ability to hold it for a full workday. She’s improving every day, but would love a family who can let her out for a quick mid-day break while she continues to strengthen that routine. Valerie is truly one of a kind. A brave, sweet, and loving tripod who’s overcome so much and is now ready to give her heart to a forever family! ----------------------------------------- ADOPTION PROCESS 1.
