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's Fling Mom shares: "I am struck by how Hope's rough life hasn't diminished her spirit. Even though she is blind and nearly deaf, she enjoys wandering around the backyard in the morning sun, sniffing the air, and discovering who was there the night before. She loves food and often has a second breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Hope will stand still to be brushed and petted. Lastly, she is a great sleeper. It would be wonderful if she could spend her remaining days in a loving home." 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?
