Sometimes they are the ones who still look at every person with hope in their eyes, believing each new face might finally be the one who came for them.That is Daisy.Daisy was originally found wandering near Mason’s Boat Dock. When one of our volunteers went out to pick her up, they expected to have to catch a scared and frightened stray. Instead, Daisy simply walked right over, happy to see someone and ready to make a new friend.She had already wandered into a nearby yard and was playing with the homeowner’s dog like they had known each other forever. She was so trusting and so comfortable with people that she did not even need to ride back to the shelter inside a kennel. She rode beside our volunteer, looking out the window and enjoying the company, completely unaware that she was being taken to a shelter instead of home.We posted Daisy everywhere because we were certain somebody had to be missing a dog this loving.We waited for a phone call. We checked every message. We hoped somebody would recognize her face and come rushing through the shelter doors.But nobody came.When Daisy arrived, she had scrapes and scuffs across her face. We believe she had been wandering through the woods and trying to survive on her own. It is also possible she had an encounter with another dog along the way. Daisy can be selective about other dogs, so she may be happiest as the only pet. A proper meet-and-greet would be required if another dog already lives in the home.When it comes to people, though, Daisy is absolutely wonderful.She loves attention, walks, toys, fresh air, and spending time with our volunteers. She greets people with a wagging tail and those hopeful eyes, always ready to believe that maybe this person came to choose her.But every visit eventually ends. The volunteer walks away, Daisy returns to her kennel, and the shelter doors close for another night.There is nothing wrong with Daisy. She has simply been overlooked.We do not want her to become another good dog who spends months or years behind kennel doors because her pictures never reached the right family. Daisy deserves a couch to stretch out on, a yard to explore, and someone who will never leave her wondering why they did not come back.Please help us give Daisy another chance to be seen. Share her story, tag your friends, and tell someone about the sweet flower still waiting at the shelter.Daisy has never stopped believing that somebody is coming for her.We just pray she does not have to keep believing much longer. ❤️Daisy will be microchipped, and a Fi GPS tracker voucher will be included with her adoption.

He still wanted someone to love him.Once Cocoa entered the shelter, the physical wounds were not the only things he had to overcome. The noise, confinement, and constant activity inside the kennels became overwhelming for him. Kennel stress began hiding the real Cocoa from everyone who walked past him.Inside a kennel, people saw a stressed and frightened dog. Outside of that kennel, we saw the affectionate boy who wanted to be close to us. We knew there was so much more to Cocoa than what the shelter environment allowed people to see.Then someone gave Cocoa a chance and opened their home to him as a foster.That is when we finally got to meet the real Cocoa.Cocoa is now running and playing with multiple dogs, and he absolutely loves them. He enjoys having doggy friends and being part of a pack. This dog, who struggled so much inside the shelter, is thriving when surrounded by other dogs in a home.And it is not only dogs that Cocoa loves. He loves the chickens too!His foster home has shown us that Cocoa is not meant to spend his life behind kennel bars. He is meant to run through a yard with other dogs, enjoy the company of his people, and finally experience what it feels like to belong somewhere.Cocoa is still frightened by loud noises. Because sudden sounds can scare him, he needs to remain secured with a harness whenever he is outside. He may also need medication during especially loud events to help him remain calm. He needs a family that will understand his fears, keep him safe, and give him reassurance when the world becomes a little too loud.Cocoa does not need to be someones only dog. He is already proving how much he loves living, running, and playing with multiple dogs. A home with friendly doggy siblings may be exactly what helps him continue feeling safe and confident.But Cocoa cannot come back to the shelter.The kennel environment is not a place where he can successfully live again. His foster family has given him safety, happiness, and the opportunity to show everyone the wonderful dog hidden beneath all that stress. We cannot allow everything he has gained to disappear because nobody stepped forward to make him theirs.He is safe today, but he still does not have a forever home.Cocoa is approximately 50 pounds and is already microchipped. His adoption will also include a voucher for a Fi GPS tracker to help his new family keep him protected.The chain is gone. The kennel is behind him. He is running with dogs, loving the chickens, and finally learning what a happy life feels like.Now we need someone willing to make sure he never loses it.Please do not scroll past Cocoa because he is currently safe in foster. Being safe in foster does not mean his story is finished. It only means someone gave us more time to find the person he has been waiting for.We are begging you to share Cocoa. Talk about him. Send his story to someone with other dogs who may be looking for one more member of their family. Help us find the person who will promise him that foster care is the last temporary place he will ever have to call home.ADOPTION FEESFixed Dogs: $100Not Fixed Dogs: $125Fixed Cats: $85Not Fixed Cats: $100Waverly Animal ShelterHumphreys County Humane Society108 Young RoadWaverly, TN 37185Shelter: 931-296-7319Email: animals@hchswaverly.comIf you are unable to reach
