• “I am new to my home after being fostered for a long time, having surgery, and healing from many wounds. I was found wandering very far from people and its been a long road. I get walked very early to avoid people and animals but hope to find some safe places for outings every once in awhile.“

  — Jennifer A.

• “Hi! My name is Reuben my parents name me after a Reuben sandwich because I love to squeeze myself between them when I sleep. I feel the safest like that! At 8 weeks old, my owners dumped me in a big scary place that I didn’t recognize. There were trees and strange sounds everywhere. I later learned from my new Mom and Dad that it was called public hunting grounds. This was in North Carolina so I’m good ole big southern hunting dog. My new Dad went for a drive one evening after working on his truck and just happen to see something really small by the side of the road. He stopped and got out— I was busy eating a happy meal from McDonald’s that they left with me. I charged him and tried my best to scare him off cause I was so scared and confused. Eventually, I finally came to him… it was getting dark and cold. My Dad is the best and my new home was so great! I have a big brother dog and a big brother cat! I’m not alone anymore! Because of my trauma I have a lot of separation anxiety and panic when my parents leave me. But my big brothers help me with that and I am now okay with being left alone at 3 yrs old. I don’t like other dogs — I can’t trust them. A few times at puppy daycare I got attacked and came home with scratches all over my chest. So ever since then I decided I must act first to keep them away and to keep myself safe. I struggle a lot with my anxiety and reactivity but my parents never gave up on me! I have come a long way, but sometimes I have set backs. I love my pack so much and I have to always be on guard to protect them.“
