It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Angel. This sweet 1.5 year old 24 pound baby girl Beagle/Terrier mix is a true survivor. She has been through more than most Dogs ever should. She was found abandoned in a dumpster after giving birth to her puppies- scared, exhausted and left to fend for herself. Despite everything she’s still here and slowly learning that the world can be kind.
Right now she’s understandably, fearful and cautious. New people, sudden movements, and unfamiliar environments can overwhelm her and she will try to run if she feels unsafe. She’ll need a patient, experienced home that understands shy dogs that may be a flight risk and will be committed to keeping her secure and giving her time to trust.
But underneath that fear is a gentle, tender soul. You can see it in her soft eyes and the way she quietly observes everything around her. She wants to trust so badly. If you sit with her long enough and stroke her side softly, you can see her relax and begin to understand what Love feels like. With time, consistency, and a calm environment to support her needs she will get there. Once she begins to feel safe, you’ll start to see glimpses of her true personality: quiet, affection, curiosity, and a deep capacity to bond.
What this little Angel needs:
A quiet, low-traffic home
A securely fenced yard (this is a must)
An adopter experienced with fearful or undersocialized dogs
Someone patient and committed to going at her pace
She may do best with another calm, confident dog who can help show her the ropes, but thoughtful introductions will be important.
This is the kind of dog where every small step forward will be a huge victory. If you have the heart and patience to help her feel safe in this world she will undoubtably build an unbreakable bond with you. Quietly changing your life in return.
