💔 Mr. Maple is Still Waiting… Can You Be His Hero? Some dogs come and go quickly.And then there’s Mr. Maple — our sweet, gentle giant who’s been waiting for months… and months… and still, not a single application. We don't understand it. Truly, we don’t. Mr. Maple is a big, beautiful Plott Hound mix who was found as a stray before coming to us from SVASC. Somewhere along the way, someone gave up on him. They let him wander alone, unloved and unseen — and yet, he has held onto his kindness, his softness, his capacity to trust. This boy is sweet, loving, and wants nothing more than someone to finally care. He thrives in public settings, soaking in attention with his gentle eyes and wagging tail. He’s goofy in the best way, and even more endearing once you know he’s still figuring out the world. Mr. Maple does have one quirk — he’s nervous about doing his business on a leash. Because of this, he needs a home with a yard where he can feel safe and relaxed. That small ask is the only thing holding him back from being someone’s perfect dog. We’re begging you to look at Mr. Maple not as the dog who’s been passed over, but as the one who’s still holding on. The one who, despite everything, still believes his person is out there. Please help us prove him right.Foster or adopt Mr. Maple today, and let him know what it feels like to be chosen — finally. 👉 https://www.dogsdeservebetter.org/adopt 📍 Currently located at Home Away From Home Dog Boarding and Training 🦴 Fully vetted & ready for love (fb)

We do not know how Diego has spent nearly six months in the shelter because in the short amount of time he's been with us he has shown us what a truly special pup he is. Diego LOVES people—he’s a world-class snuggler and the perfect couch companion for your next Netflix binge. He also enjoys leisurely walks with his favorite humans and has a gentle, affectionate nature that makes everyone who meets him fall in love. Diego also gets along wonderfully with other dogs and quickly became buddies with his previous foster’s resident pup. However, we recently discovered that Diego is heartworm positive, which means he now needs a calm, quiet foster home where he can rest and heal. What does heartworm treatment involve? Heartworm disease is NOT contagious to other pets, but it does require medical treatment and—most importantly—strict exercise restriction for several weeks. This means no running, roughhousing, or high activity. Because of this, Diego needs a foster home without another playful dog who might encourage him to romp. DDBBR fully covers the cost of treatment, and we’ll guide you every step of the way. What Diego needs most is a soft place to land—a calm home filled with love and a comfy couch where he can relax during his recovery. By fostering Diego, you’re not only helping him heal physically, you’re giving him a real chance at the joyful, healthy life he deserves. 💛 Please consider opening your heart and home to this sweet boy.
