💜 Volunteer Notes

I met Lucy in October and she was one of my favorites to think she was failed again and now is in this situation with so many babies makes me sick to my stomach. These are the horror stories the shelter is trying to prevent and yet it happened anyways.

October 2024: I love Lucy. I'm not talking about the show I'm talking about this perfect puppers. She knows how to put on the charm that's for sure. Anyone that greets her gets the same sweet greeting where she gives a smile and looks all cute. She was easy to leash and didn't have any problem walking by any of the dogs. She played with a pup in the run and loved running back and forth. She enjoys belly rubs and playing which is the perfect package in my opinion. She knows how to relax and knows how to have fun. I saw several people have her out today and every time they brought her back she just would relax in her kennel. She's so quiet! I'm surprised no one has snatched this girl up yet.

📝 Shelter Notes:

October 2024

Approaching kennel, dog was sitting down in the front. I opened the door and she then pancaked, keeping her head low.

I placed the leash but dog remained in potion so I then slowly entered and got behind her, as I was picking her up I could hear that she was softly crying. I carried her outside the kennel and then placed her on floor. As I was petting and baby talking her, she wagged her tail and looked at me with soft eyes. As I was petting her head, she would gently close her eyes and lick her lips, and get closer to my legs. After spending a minute with her, she followed me and walked loosely with a wagging tail. She occasionally would freeze and look at me with soft eyes and a wagging tail, I had to baby talk and pet her again for her to continue walking. While outside, I squatted down again and she quickly came forward to sit next to me. While petting her outside, she got on her back with tummy up and was enjoying the belly rubs with closed eyes and a smile.

Coming back inside, she walked with a more relaxed body. After placing her in kennel, I closed the door and then started to pet her through door. She sat in placed licking her lips and closing her eyes in comfort as I petted her head. She was super and friendly towards me,

In the afternoon I was able to take her outside so she could have more outside time and adjust to the outside setting since in the morning she was a bit timid. Again, she slowly walked on the leash and needed a lot of encouragement to walk. She often pulled back but I was able to redirect her with with baby talk and pets. She ignored treats and baby talk seemed to be working better with her. When coming back inside she walked on a loose leash, still occasionally stopping. Again, responding super well to being pet, loves the attention.

dog was laying down and when i approched dog had whale eyes and as i got closer dog had lowered head down and as i opened the kennel door wider for dog to get out she pancaked and i had to carry out and carry to next kennel.

spoke to potential adopter about her delay in surgery due to URI. Was told that we had noticed that she was limping and upon looking at the radiographs on her RF there was a healing fracture. She was told that she would be going home on carprofen and doxy for her to give at home. She still wanted to move forward with the adoption.

📝 Shelter Notes:

5/10/2026: A bit timid but friendly. Walked with loose leash, tail tucked when passing other dogs. Sat out at the run gate, loose leash back inside and into kennel. Another dog was lunging and snarling at her when walking back in, and she stopped with tail tucked, was reaching neck trying to sniff him, setting him off further. Had to pull her away.

5/12/2026: dog was behind the kennel and as i leashed her she walked slowly out the kennel and as i baby talked and other act was standing behind her she walked and as i placed her in the run she roamed and going back to her she came to the front and i walked her lose leash back inside.

5/13/2026: Greeted me at the front of her kennel with a closed mouth, soft eyes, and neutral body, and a soft wagging tail when baby talked. Easily leashed, walked with loose leash outside to the runs. Mostly kept to self outside in the runs. Easily leashed and returned to kennel.

5/17/2026: Painted in kennel in the am after am feeding. Was nonstop jumping up and high pitched vocalizing throughout am cleaning. I was able to leash them she walked loosely to the runs. As I walked away she began to be vocal again. Walked back to kennel loosely. Placing on AE to monitor.

5/18/2026: Fed in the am and spot cleaned to prevent penny from painting. Penny painted in kennel after feeding , panting heavily in front of kennel with dilated pupils. I leashed her up and walked her outside. She was stressed out while being outside and began to high pitch bark. I brought her back in and moved her kennel closer to where i start cleaning in the am to see if taking her out first will help prevent her from stressing out. As I placed into new kennel she was high pitched vocalizing in kennel.

5/19/2026: Penny was high pitched barking in kennel in the am. I was able to leash , she was little flinchy with whale eyes, once leashed walked her out to the runs. Once I placed her in the run she went on to go sniff around in the grassy area. As I came back for her she had dilated pupils with heavy panting and appears to be stressed out. I walked her back to kennel. After am walking she began jumping up in kennel vocalizing. Kennel was covered and had offered enrichment before heading to lunch. As I came back to check on her she had painted her kennel and spilled her water everywhere in her kennel where her bedding was soaked. I took her out to the runs to clean kennel and she was vocalizing in the run pacing back and forth. I had to offer her a bucket instead to try and help prevent her from spilling her water again.

Dog friendly with proper introductions!!!!

Euthanasia scheduled Monday 05/11 at 6:30 am 💔

Best smile award goes to… RYDER!! 🏆🌟

Ryder is a sweet, happy boy and is a great, petite travel size at just 41 pounds! Ryder allows for all over touch, and likes attention from the handlers. He walks easily on the leash, and is good about entering and exiting his kennel on lead. He’s just in need of a home to show him all the love he deserves.

🐶 Ryder was tested with Sherman and Shanzy and did okay. He does not like other dogs near his face, and does not like when other dogs come into his space suddenly. When we first introduced him to Sherman, he corrected Sherman twice before Sherman calmed down. When approached again by Sherman, but this time much more calm, Ryder wagged his tail and allowed him to exchange a rear end sniff with him. With Sherman calm, both dogs coexisted side by side just fine, but did not choose to interact much more. Ryder was stiff when we first brought out Shanzy, but after exchanging a rear end sniff, was wagging his tail and following her around sniffing her. He did get a little invasive with his sniffing, which Shanzy corrected him on, and he took the correction well, backing off for a short time before approaching her again.

🆘 The shelter has issued a PLEA for BENNY! That means BENNY will be euthanized Wednesday May 20 unless a FOSTER or ADOPTER comes forward for him by 6pm on May 19!

🚨 BENNY is so terrified in the shelter. He cuddles with new friend Louie for comfort which means he is sweet and dog friendly. BENNY would do well with another confident dog at home to show him the ropes of how to dog.

He might be scared but he allows touching and handling so we know he's a good boy. With time to decompress and patience to let him set the pace BENNY would come out of his shell and blossom into a fun loving dog.

Now is the time to HELP us get good boy BENNY out of the shelter in time.His life is in danger every Monday, Wednesday & Friday morning before the shelter opens to the public

Here is what we know about BENNY:

IN GRAVE DANGER - EUTH COMMAND

“I’m Charisma… though right now I know that name doesn’t seem to fit me. I used to be different — playful, cuddly, always pressed against my person because that’s where I felt safe. But then everything changed. My parent got sick, then lost our home, and the day we said goodbye I cried into their shirt while they cried into my fur. I didn’t understand why we couldn’t stay together. I still don’t. I just know they loved me, and I loved them, and then suddenly I was alone.

Here in the shelter I’m so scared that my whole body shakes. I hide in the corner of my kennel because it’s the only place that feels small enough to hold all my fear. When people try to take me out, I panic — my legs won’t move, my body freezes, and sometimes I thrash because I don’t know what else to do. I’m not trying to be difficult. I’m just a ten‑month‑old puppy who lost everything and doesn’t know how to be brave yet.

But underneath all this trembling is the real me — the girl who loves to cuddle, who follows her people from room to room, who gives soft kisses and wiggles when she trusts you. I’m playful with dogs I know, gentle with the people I love, and I want so badly to feel safe again. I just need time… time to decompress, time to learn the world isn’t ending, time to remember that I’m still a puppy with a whole life ahead of me.

The shelter says I’m “not acclimating,” and now I’m on the list to die. I don’t want my story to end here. I don’t want my parent — wherever they are, probably still struggling — to find out that I am gone forever. I want a quiet, patient, adult home where someone will kneel beside me, speak softly, and let me come forward when I’m ready. Someone who sees past the shaking and understands that fear is not who I am — it’s just what happened to me.

Please… I’m only ten months old. I’m healthy. I’m loving. I’m trying. I just need someone to save my life and give me the chance to become the dog my name promises.”

Experienced fosters and adopters, we need you to step up for this baby girl who did nothing wrong. She’s lost it all, the parent she loved, the home she felt safe and loved in, and now she may lose her own life. It’s unfair. MESSAGE OUR PAGE to save her life now.

CHARISMA, Id 252611, @10 Mos. Old, 54 lbs., Female
Queens ACC, Medium Mixed Breed, Gray/White
Owner Surrender Reason: 5/5/26 – Owner Homeless
Behavior Assessment Rating: New Hope Only
Recommendations:
No children under 13
Place with a New Hope Partner
Medical Behavior Rating: 4. Orange

AT RISK MEMO:
Charisma is at risk due to behavioral concerns. Charisma has been highly fearful and shut down during her stay in care, despite best efforts to keep her comfortable. In her previous home she is describe to enjoy being close to her people, playful, and an affectionate dog. In care, she refuses to leave her kennel and thrashes intensely once leashed. Charisma was also reported to display similar behaviors during her intake and refused to walk to her kennel. Medically, Charisma is apparently healthy.

Charisma was surrendered by her previous owner due to their health concerns. Her previous family described her as an active, playful, affectionate dog.

During her stay in care, Charisma has been highly fearful and shut down. She refuses to leave her kennel or walk, moving to the corner of her kennel, trembling, and begins thrashing before freezing in place once leashed. Due to these concerns, we recommend that Charisma be placed in an adult-only home through a New Hope rescue partner that can give her the time and space to decompress and acclimate at her own pace. She will likely need further socialization sessions under the guidance of a certified professional trainer who utilizes force-free, reward-only based methods once she has had ample time to adjust to a new home environment.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only

Recommendations:
No children (under 13)
Place with a New Hope partner

Recommendations comments:

No children (under 13): Due to Charisma's intense, fearful and shut-down behaviors, we recommend an adult-only home as she may be intimidated by children.

Place with a New Hope partner: Charisma has not acclimated well to the kennel environment and has allowed only minimal handling since intake. We recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification (force-free, positive reinforcement-based) and re-evaluate behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home.

Potential challenges:
House soiling
Resource guarding
Handling/touch sensitivity
Fearful
Anxiety
On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration

Potential challenges comments:

House soiling: Charisma is reported to have accidents on a weekly basis in her previous home. Please see the handout on House soiling.

Resource guarding: Charisma is reported to guard her food, hovering over it with a tense body. Please see the handout on resource guarding.

Handling/touch sensitivity | Fearful: Charisma has been highly fearful and shutdown during her stay in care. She moves to a corner of her kennel when handlers attempt to leash her, thrashing once leashed, and refuses to leave her kennel or walk once out. Her previous owner stated that she did not allow any form of grooming, including nail trims. And she was fearful when restrained and when her collar is grabbed. Please see handouts on Decompression period and Handling/touch sensitivity.

Anxiety: Charisma is reported to be anxious in the previuos home, but her owner did not elaborate on how this behavior manifested or if any steps were taken to modify these behaviors. If Charisma displays anxious behavior in her future home, we recommend puzzle toys, long walks, and giving her other things to focus on to alleviate her anxiety. Positive reinforcement, force-free training only should be used. Please see hadnout on generalized anxiety.

On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: Charisma is reported to bark and growl at moving objects during walks. Please see handout on On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration.
