My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Shine has quite a sad story to tell. He was dumped under a freeway bridge in Houston, Texas and had been living there for several weeks before a good samaritan saw him and started gaining his trust by bringing him food. Another dog we have named Bruce had been sharing his food with some baby kittens he was looking after, as well as Shine. A good samaritan that had been gaining his trust called on rescue to help. We were able to, with the help of the good samaritan, lure Shine and his buddy, Bruce, into a car with chicken and they have now been fully vetted and neutered. He has also been treated for heartworms. Shine is a beautiful bright white color with tan ears and tan markings on his body. He has gorgeous amber eyes. Shine needs an adopter experienced with the breed. He MAY do okay with other larger dogs with proper introduction but has decided that he does not like cats or chickens. We are sure his life before he came into rescue was not a good one as being inside a house and walking on a leash is a completely foreign concept to him. He does fine with people and older children. He needs an adopter willing to teach him what being a cherished pet is all about. We think Shine deserves a second chance at a good life. Is that with you?
