Rosalyn has been with us for just over a year. Her temporary spot was just that, temporary. We stretched it to a year and we can stretch no further.
If a foster home is not found she will be going into a kennel. We have given her a quiet, stress free environment and trained her with compassion and grace. We fear that all of the progress we have made with her will be lost.

Meet John! John is a 73# lap x velcro dog cross who’s currently living his best life with his foster mama. He truly embodies the drake lyric, “I only love my bed and my mama” except, he’s not sorry. While John may be the sweetest boy, who just wants to give & receive love his story could have ended much differently. Originally born into a home for breeding, & profitable purposes where he was constantly told to cap his emotions has left him confused. The fact that they didn’t want him to react to things that confuse or upset him has been proven to be the root of his anxiety which is maintained with once daily medications. Thanks to Hardcore4pits, & his foster mama, John is on the road to the good life.
