DESCRIPTION
Hi, I'm Hope.
I'm a 7-month-old, 48-pound Anatolian Shepherd/Black Mouth Cur mix, and my name feels especially fitting right now, because hope is exactly what I have for my future.
I'm a beautiful but shy girl who was recently surrendered and found myself in a loud, crowded shelter. I didn't understand what was happening or why everything around me had suddenly changed. Thankfully, Paws Fur Recovery came to my rescue and gave me a safe place to land.
On my first day, I was very unsure of everything. There were new people, new sounds, and a new environment, and all I wanted to do was lie quietly in my kennel. I wasn't quite ready to trust that everything was going to be okay.
But the directors and staff at Paws Fur Recovery could see that I needed a little extra love and reassurance. They were patient with me and gave me the time I needed to feel safe. Then they introduced me to some younger puppies, and something began to change. Being around them made me feel comfortable, and little by little, I started coming out of my shell.
I'm beginning to realize that there are good things ahead for me.
I know I'm in good hands while I'm here, and every day I'm learning that I can trust again. But this is only one stop in my journey. What I really want is a loving family of my very own-a family who will be patient with me, help me continue to build my confidence, and show me that I never have to wonder where I belong again.
I'm Hope, and I'm hoping my forever family is out there waiting for me.
