Story
Meet Hope!
When Hope's mom and dad separated, neither of them were able to take care of her, leaving Hope in need of a new loving home. Hope is a special needs dog, being both blind and hearing impaired. She is trying to be brave, but adjusting to new places and people at this stage of her life is a bit overwhelming. Our hearts ache for this sweet girl, and we are searching for someone who will offer her the gentle care and love she deserves.
Despite the upheaval in Hope's life, she is very sweet and melts in your lap. She enjoys spending time outdoors, wandering around in the yard or riding in a stroller, sniffing the fresh air, and listening to the birds chirping. Hope also enjoys car rides, mealtime, naps, and feeling the sunshine on her face. She does well with both cats and other dogs.
Soon after Hope arrived, she went on a two-week Frosted Fling. After spending this time in a calm home, Hope became more relaxed and seemed to grow stronger, walking better and adjusting well to her environment. Her Fling Mom noticed that clapping her hands to let Hope know where she was helped Hope feel more comfortable and less startled. As Hope learned her way around her new surroundings, her spirits lifted.
Hope is currently on a second Fling and is doing so well! Her Fling Family reports:
"Hope has been with us on a fling for a week already, and we absolutely love every moment of her company. We also find her easy to care for. Her routine is pretty simple - sleep, out to potty and sniff, walk around for a few minutes, eat, find a comfy bed to sleep, repeat.
Hope never fusses or makes any noise at all, is easy to pick up and carry, and enjoys ear rubs. Her vision and hearing impairments don't deter her from making her way around our house and yard. She gets along perfectly with our dogs (two of them are blind like her). They all sniff each other and wander around together.
Hope enjoys taking in the smells at the harbor or short walks in a stroller to get some fresh air. Hope is such a sweet and quiet little granny."
Hope is a gentle soul who needs a patient and understanding person who can meet her needs with compassion and care. Might that be you?
