Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. **If you are interested in being considered for this dog, please be sure to complete an application directly on our website - not through a 3rd party service.* Espresso is not just a Lab/ Aussie/ hound mix; she's a resilient, one-and-a-half-year-old miracle who turned her tale of adversity into a story of hope. This lovely lady had a rough start in life, as she was found tied to a tree, left to fend for herself. This sweet girl's journey took an unexpected turn when a kind soul rescued her and discovered that she was not alone—Espresso was pregnant. She was taken in, brought to rescue and given a safe spot to have her babies. Since then, Espresso has been on a journey of healing and rediscovery, learning to trust people and embrace the love and care she deserves. Despite facing such hardship, Espresso's spirit has not been broken; instead, she's emerged as a shining example of resilience. Espresso is a beautiful 56 lb Lab / Aussie / hound mix. (Foster DNA TESTED). Espresso is dog-selective, and seems to enjoy the company of male dogs more than females. She has not been tested with cats. She shines brightest in the company of humans, displaying a heartwarming affection once she's had the chance to warm up to her people and realize they are not there to hurt her, but to give her love and affection. Espresso has proven to be good with kids in her foster home, as long as they are respectful towards her requirement to warm up first. Espresso has been fed separately in her foster home as well, as she does tend to guard her food, another effect of having been left to fend for herself for God knows how long. We feel this girl would do best in a home with a yard so please no apartments or condos. As you consider bringing this wonderful Lab / Aussie /hound mix into your home, be prepared to be patient and understanding, offering Espresso the time and space she needs to fully blossom into the loving, affectionate companion she's destined to become. If you're ready to open your heart and home to Espresso, please reach out to us and be a part of her journey to a brighter, happier future. Together, let's make Espresso's second chance at a forever home the warm and loving experience she deserves Espresso’s adoption fee has been sponsored by a previous adopter who took in a wonderful dog with a similar background hoping a family could also give her a chance with a family of her own.
