Meet Hope!

Hope is a wonderful girl who came from a puppy mill closing. In spite of her background she is a friendly affectionate girl. We think Hope is about 6 years old. Her hair was all shaved off just before we got her and is just starting to grow back in her pictures.

Hope is a real Velcro griff who follows her foster mom everywhere and curls up in her lap every chance she gets. Hope gets along well with the other dogs in her foster home although she is not a big game player – she often prefers to just spend her spare time curled up for a nap.

Hope is learning leash training and is doing very well on house breaking. She has several little outfits and seems to enjoy being dressed in them (she loves the attention she gets!) She is not crazy about holding still for the camera so her photos are not too wonderful – but she is a great girl. She would love a nice quiet home with someone to cuddle up to.

Hope is losing a little weight and we think she will be around 10 – 10.5 lbs. when she is trim. She will be spayed and will have her teeth cleaned before she goes to her new home. Hope is up to date on vaccines and takes heartworm preventative.

Hope is being fostered in Ohio.

If you would like more information, please fill out our adoption application and contact Vicki.

Keep in mind that we prefer to place dogs within driving distance of where they are being fostered. If someone from outside the local area is approved for adoption, they must be willing to fly in to get the dog and that can only happen if the dog is stable enough to travel in the cabin with the passenger.
