My story

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

Hank needs our help ~
Hank 3 year old American Bully looking for a loving and patient home. He loves women and children, however inside the home he is not trusting of men. He needs a man to be willing to work with him and show him that not all men are bad. Whether he was abused or loved in a domestic violence situation it has left him untrusting of men. When outside he loves everybody regardless of gender, this leads me to lean more towards domestic violence as that takes place behind closed doors most of the time. He is non reactive of dogs however his desire is humans. After he learns to trust everyone in the home he may love a doggie friend but for now his life needs to be focused on learning to trust men inside the home. No cat history and he does show interest in my chickens when he exercises in the pasture. He now asks to go outside to go potty by going to the door, crate and kennel trained. Knows sit, lay down and is now working on wait. If you would love to be this sweet boys savior please apply at www.hopeshavenfriends.org

More about this rescue

Hopes Haven began as a dream. A televised news story about a case of obscene animal abuse broke our hearts. Video from the scene taken after authorities seized possession of the animals revealed several deceased and emaciated dogs. Of the dogs still alive, only two were determined to have any chance of survival. Marsha called the humane society where the dogs had been taken and asked if a terribly emaciated Doberman that was on the newscast could be held for her to adopt if she survived. The care givers at the shelter named the Doberman Hope. Hope's life had been one of being chained inside of a barn and forced to have litter after litter of puppies, all while rarely seeing the light of day. Although Hope never did fully recover, she did indeed survive and lived with us for almost thirteen months before she died. Hopes Haven is a tribute to her and to all innocent dogs that have had their trust betrayed by unworthy guardians.

We give hope to those that have no place else to go. The old, infirm, and ill will always have a place to go as long as Hopes Haven exists.
