Story
Meet Penelope (aka Penny) 3-year-old Border Collie mix | Spayed Female Penelope, lovingly called Penny, is a smart, loyal, and people-loving girl who is looking for a fresh start in a home that’s a good fit for her needs. Penny adores people and has never met a stranger she didn’t want to be friends with (though men wearing hats may earn a few cautious barks at first ). She is housebroken, crate trained, leash trained, and does wonderfully staying home alone during the day. At night, she happily settles into her crate and sleeps soundly. She rides well in the car, listens when redirected, and is described as very obedient and eager to please. Penny has lived indoors and truly thrives as a companion dog who is included in daily life. With kids, Penny is affectionate and friendly, but because she’s a bigger, enthusiastic girl, she does best with older or dog-savvy children who can respect her space and energy. She may be a bit pushy with smaller kids if not supervised. Penny generally does well with other dogs, but after a recent stressful incident with a smaller, persistently growly dog, it’s clear she would do best in a home with careful dog introductions or possibly as the only dog. She can be redirected from chasing cats and listens well, but a cat-savvy home would be ideal. The good stuff: Fully vetted & spayed House & crate trained Loves people Obedient and responsive Healthy and well cared for Penny’s current family is even willing to foster her while she waits for the right forever home — a testament to how loved she is. If you’re looking for a devoted, intelligent companion who just needs the right environment to shine, Penny might be your girl Apply to adopt Penelope here:https://www.wagtopia.com/search/pet?id=1707539&name=Penelope+ ##1707539##

Story
Meet Frick A sweet, friendly girl who just needs a little patience.   Frick is a beautiful Border Collie mix girl who came to Denkai Animal Sanctuary as part of a group of eight dogs surrendered when their owner was no longer able to care for them. With the help of a local Sheriff’s Department and the generous support of Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation, Frick is now safe and has completed all of her veterinary care.   While Frick can be a bit unsure in new situations, she is genuinely sweet and friendly once she feels comfortable. She enjoys gentle attention and shows a soft, loving side that makes it easy to see the wonderful companion she will become. Frick will thrive in a home that understands she may need time to settle in and build confidence at her own pace.   Frick is fully vetted and ready to move into a loving home. She is looking for a patient, understanding family who will allow her to decompress and continue building confidence.   Frick is looking for: • A calm, patient home • Adopters who understand shy or sensitive dogs • A safe, loving environment to continue building confidence   Frick may need a little time—but she has so much love to give to the right family.   Interested in adopting or fostering Frick? Visit https://denkaisanctuary.org/adopt   Sometimes the sweetest dogs are the ones who just need someone willing to go slow. ##2612040##

Story
Injured, Afraid, and Still Wagging His Tail Bear is one of our most recent rescues, and when we picked him up, he was badly injured. He’s still not putting any weight on his right hind leg and is very fearful and not very handleable yet. His injuries were caused by other dogs before he came to us — not the dogs he is with now. He was kept separately when we rescued him. When Bear first arrived, he was terrified. He truly believed that everything around him was going to hurt him. And yet… every single day when I go in to care for him, he wags his tail and tries to come greet me. This boy has the kindest face. You can see it in his eyes — an incredible soul who wants nothing more than to be loved. Despite the pain, despite the fear, Bear is still hoping. Bear has been seen by our veterinarian, and thankfully his leg is not broken. He is currently on antibiotics and pain medication, and we are giving his body time to heal. We are still very concerned and will be reassessing him again this weekend. Bear urgently needs a foster home.He needs a quiet, patient place where he can rest, feel safe, and learn that he will never be hurt again. If you can help this sweet boy — by fostering or by making a donation toward his care — please fill out an application or donate through Denkai Animal Sanctuary. www.denkaisanctuary.org Bear has been through so much… and yet he still wags his tail.Let’s make sure the rest of his story is filled with love. ##2612046##
