"Amelia is super sweet. She's pretty scared and skittish at first, but once she knows you, she'll soak up any attention you'll give her. She'll jump up on you for attention, and while she definitely enjoys treats, she also likes pets and love a little more. Amelia is afraid of loud noises and fast movements, but she really opens up with other animals. She would make a great cuddle buddy when she's comfortable with you." Jill, Dog Associate
Owen, 1 year old Anatolian Shepherd Mix, is sweet and lovable and will be the best friend you've ever had. He loves walks on the trail and gets really playful. He also loves playing with other dogs and in puddles when it is raining. Owen weighs 66lbs. In the shelter, Owen’s kennel has often been passed over by potential adopters, who were intimidated by his fearful demeanor. But despite his tough exterior, Owen’s eyes portray a deep sadness, a longing for connection and comfort. His fear has made him wary of strangers, and the shelter's noisy, chaotic environment only exacerbated his anxiety. The shelter staff & volunteers have done their best to provide a comforting environment, but for Owen, even the simplest sounds and movements could trigger fear & anxiety. We all watch, hearts aching, as he has struggled to cope, his anxiety a constant, crushing presence that seemed to suffocate him. Owen’s anxiety might make him tremble and pace, but it doesn’t define him—he is a dog who deserves soft blankets, warm hugs, and whispered words of reassurance. With patience, understanding, and gentle care, Owens true self could shine through, revealing a loyal companion, a snuggle buddy, and a friend who would cherish love and affection above all else. It's time for us to act, to come together and provide Owen with the chance he so desperately deserves. Will you be the rescue hero Owen needs? Will you provide a safe haven, a nurturing environment, and a loving heart to help him heal and thrive?
