Story
A Letter From Goofy's Foster Mom Goofy came to me unsure, quiet, and carrying a lot of hesitation - after all, he’s been a shelter dog since May. Within days, I watched him start to believe in himself again. He is one of those rare souls who tries so hard to be brave, even when the world feels big. And when he finally decides you’re safe? His whole body softens, his tail starts wagging, and he melts into you with a kind of gratitude you can feel. He’s wonderfully behaved in the house: fully house trained, crate trained, and happiest curled up in a blanket or laying his head on your lap. He adores his stuffies — especially his little cow, which he looks for every night before tucking himself into bed. It’s impossible to watch him proudly carrying that cow without smiling. Goofy loves a quick round of ball, a gentle walk, and being near his person. He rides beautifully in the car, does great on walks, and never says no to a treat. At his core, he is a snuggler — a sweet, sensitive boy who just wants to belong again. He can be unsure with new people at first, but he warms beautifully with patience, calm energy, and a few tossed treats. Once he chooses you, he loves you with a deep, sincere loyalty that’s impossible not to fall for. He’s thoughtful, gentle, and simply needs someone who will meet him where he is and celebrate how far he’s come. Watching him rebuild his confidence has been one of the most special parts of fostering him. He isn’t a “project dog.” He is a good dog who just needed a soft place to land — and he’s ready for a forever home that gives him the gentleness, steadiness, and love he’s been missing. If you’re looking for a dog who will adore you, who will try his hardest every single day, and who will meet you with quiet companionship and a tender heart… Goofy is ready. He deserves the next chapter of his life to be the best. With love, Goofy’s Foster Mom 🤍

Story
Diamond is a beautiful little girl who has been through a lot of heartache in her young life.She was tied outside to brave the elements 24/7 with a wire tied around her neck. She was taken to a jigh kill Texas shelter and survived death in the euthanasia room not once, but twice. All she wants is to find someone to love and to love her back. To give her the life that she deserves and so desperately longs for. Diamond seems to be a little bit prey driven, probably from living outside her entire life.So a home with no pocket pets, cats or small dogs is probably best. A fenced yard is a plus, but not absolutely necessary. She is great on a leash and really enjoys walks. This little sweetheart is UTD on vaccines, Spayed, de wormed, flea treated, heart worm tested( negative) and micro chipped. If you would like to meet Diamond, please submit an application on our website, canaananimalsanctuary.org.

Phoenix

American Staffordshire Terrier

Female, Adult

Story
Phoenix is a wonderful pup. She loves to play with her human and other pups. She also likes to just chill out with her human. She is 3 years old and is house broken. She also knows several commands and is very food motivated. She has no issue going into her crate when you tell her to. She is a full blood American Staffordshire Terrier. Unfortunately, I have to rehome her. My soon-to-be ex decided that he doesn't want her anymore (even though he told me he would wait until I found a place that allows dogs) and I can't have her where I live. They don't allow pets. I'm so heartbroken and I don't have any other options. I want her to go to a loving family that will love her as I do. I think the best environment for her would be a home with older children. Even though she looks small, she is very strong and doesn't know her own strength. She tends to jump when she gets excited. She would be fine with other dogs, but I don't know about cats.
