Yesterday, I adopted the oldest, sickest, and most broken dog at the shelter. I'll never forget the look he gave me. When I entered his kennel, he didn't even look at me—he was too used to being overlooked. He lay curled up in the corner, as if he'd given up long ago.
The volunteer asked several times, "Are you sure this is the dog you want? Really sure?" Without hesitation, I said, "Yes. This is the dog."
When the door opened and a few other animals ran out, I went straight to him. At that moment, he slowly raised his head, as if he'd seen someone truly notice him for the first time. I gently took him in my arms and whispered, "From now on, you'll be happy again."
He fell asleep in my lap—probably the first peaceful sleep of his life.
Please—give the forgotten a chance. Give them love. They need us more than we realize.

Meet Rose Puddin’.

She is a 1 year old, 50 lb, ADORABLE, low rider Beagle/Pit Bull girl who was abandoned before she came to her foster mom's house. She's house trained, crate trained, and leash trained. She loves to ride in a car and just enjoys life with a smile on her face. She loves adults and older kids along with her doggie canine foster siblings. Rose Puddin’ wants to cuddle up with you in bed and in your lap! She minds well and listens to all your instructions. She loves toys, chews on her Kong toy, and sleeps with her favorite Teddy Bear. Rose Puddin would make a great addition to any individual or family willing to open up their hearts to give her a forever home.

Her adoption fee is $110. For more information on adopting and to set up a meet-n-greet, contact her foster mom, Diane Gurley, at 828-744-1259.

This available pet is searching for a forever LAP to call their own. Is that LAP yours?

Please help this beautiful soul find the love she deserves!
