Story
Jude is only 5 months old, but his heart already carries a story that could bring you to tears—and then make you believe in miracles all over again. He came from a severe hoarding situation, where love, care, and even food were scarce. When Jude was rescued, he was emaciated and dehydrated, weighing just 10 pounds. He was so weak he could barely walk. Life hadn’t been kind to him yet… but Jude never let that dim his gentle spirit. Fast forward a short time, and wow—what a transformation! Jude is thriving. He’s gaining weight quickly, soaking up affection like it’s his full-time job, and discovering how wonderful the world can be when you’re finally safe and have a full belly. He loves curling up with his foster parents and 4-legged siblings, exploring the outdoors with curiosity and bravery, and (most importantly) learning that humans can be trusted. Jude is a Heeler Mix (Blue Heeler dad, Mixed Breed mama – photos of parents are available) and somehow manages to be 100% pure sweetness. He’s incredibly smart and curious, already crate trained and doing fantastic with his basic training and leash work. Jude is very treat motivated—which makes training a breeze—and his all-time favorite reward? The whipped cream can (yes, really!). When he’s not learning new things, Jude is all about the cuddles. He adores belly rubs, snuggles, being held, and one of his absolute favorite activities is curling up in one of his cozy beds, sweater on, taking the kind of peaceful nap that only comes when you finally feel secure. In just over a week, he’s started to play, show off his personality, and even get the zoomies! This little guy has come so far in such a short time, and he’s just getting started. Jude is ready for a forever family who will continue his journey—one filled with love, patience, positive training, cuddles, and all the happy moments he’s always deserved. Because of his age, breed mix, and enthusiasm for life, Jude will thrive with an active person who genuinely enjoys training and staying engaged with their dog. As a Heeler puppy who was born to herd and can be underfoot, a home with no small children or anyone with mobility challenges would be ideal. Jude is eager to learn, loves being involved in everything you’re doing, and will do best with adopters who can embrace his breed characteristics and energy, keeping him mentally and physically challenged and exercised. Ready to be part of Jude’s next chapter? Submit your no-obligation adoption application at www.AlmostHomeDogRescueNC.com, and one of our adoption coaches will reach out to share even more adorable details about this very special boy. Follow us on Facebook @AlmostHomeDogRescueNC for updates on Jude and other adoptable pups! Jude survived his past. Now he’s ready to bloom in his future. Could that future be with you?

Story
This is a courtesy post. Please do not contact Heart of the Foothills Animal Rescue for information. Contact information is provided below.Patches is a young blue heeler/pit bull terrier mix. She is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations. She is very friendly, loves dogs, and plays with children and cats. While she can be somewhat hyper, she can follow basic commands such as sit, howdy, and lay down. The owner has trained her not to jump on her, but when company comes, she gets excited and will jump. She loves to show affection by licking. The owner unfortunately cannot deal with her hyperness in the house, so she is chained up outside. Her chain reaches all the way to the front porch, and she has a small front yard. She uses the bathroom outside, but when she was smaller, she was kept in the house and she was fully housebroken. When the owner's health permits, Patches goes for walks. She walks well with a training collar. The owner feels that Patches would be happier in an environment where she could have more freedom (e.g., a fenced-in yard), and with people who have more energy to deal with her. She is a very loving dog that just needs the right people.If you are interested in Patches, please email stephanie@heartofthefoothills.org
