My story

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

Psalm was rescued with 15 puppies from a California shelter all set to be euthanized the day we rescued them.

Up-to-date on shots: Rabies, licensed, DHPP-BORD, Dewormed, Microchipped. Neutered.

Psalm is the most shy of the group, and the biggest! He is gorgeous, and loves his pack. He is not aggressive at all and lets us pick him up and pet him, he is just not used to love and kindness it seems. He is great with his siblings and all the rescue dogs but goes on alert when he sees other dogs, not sure what to think about them. He will need an adopter that is patient and willing to get him more socialized in the world because he is used to being in a kennel for most of his life. He needs an adopter who is willing to get him out of his shell and show him what love is. He needs a loving home with someone who is ready to train a puppy. We think he is someones heart dog, waiting for his person.

We are unsure if he should be the only dog in the home, as he barks at other dogs he isn't used to. We believe it is just to protect the pack, and he would likely be okay with other dogs as long as proper introductions are given, which will be done during the adoption process. We recommend all of our dogs be trained, by the adopter and/or professionally, especially as puppies. Training makes everyone's life easier and more enjoyable, giving you a companion that is well behaved, safe, and mentally enriched. All adopters will receive a 50% discount at The Good Dog Yorktown for a 6-week training session.

Backstory: We saw a post on Facebook from Angels for Animals spreading awareness that these 16 dogs were in an urgent situation, scheduled for euthanasia. They were dumped from a breeder at OC Animal Shelter with two testing positive for parvo. Since they all came in together, they were considered parvo exposed, meaning they did not have it, were not showing any signs of it, just merely exposed. We couldn't let them all die for a treatable disease, so with the help of Animal Assistance League of Orange County, The Fix Project, 4 Paws Transport Inc., SoCal Happy Tails Transport, and a great volunteer communicator, we were able to get them out, and transport them here to Rox & Ro Animal Rescue in Virginia where we will find their forever homes!
