My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I am looking for a foster or my furever family.

If you can foster me starting 1/26 please email fostersupport@thebondbetween.org

If you are interested in adopting me please complete my adoption application.

Hi, my name is Gustavia Wolfshadow. I am from Arkansas.

For anyone that has sang the old nursery rhyme of “how much is that doggie in the window, the one with the waggly tail”, I am that puppy. My tail wags non-stop, my cuteness will melt your heart, and you will quickly feel how much I love you.

In spite of my traumatic start, I’ve been making up for lost time in learning how to be a puppy. I enjoy playing with toys, chewing on bones, lazily lounging with my foster brothers, and cuddling up on the couch for a good Netflix binge. I’m definitely food and treat motivated for training and even though I can be stubborn about what I want, I do love to learn new things. I bark a little bit when playing, but overall I’m quiet and shared walls shouldn’t be a problem. I’m kennel trained and sleep in it overnight, which includes a blanket over the kennel to help me settle in. I’m not crazy about separation, but when needed I do well enough with a good treat distraction…my favorite so far is a peanut butter kong. I am doing great with potty training on a consistent schedule, and showing cues when I need to go! I’m good with other dogs and like companionship, but I’m totally fine being the only dog. Cats are unknown to me, but my foster mom anticipates I would leave them alone after initially checking them out. I’ve met older kids and had some exposure to younger kids at age of 6 where we played well. I have no idea that kids could be younger than that.

From the foster: Stavia is looking for a special forever home that has lots of love to give and will not be discouraged with the possibility of needing some special care and consistency. As she has experienced a stable environment the more she shows what she is capable of. Stavia has not had a seizure since 12/21 and she continues to get stronger everyday. Her vision may not be 100%, but she sees well enough for being on furniture by herself, navigating stairs, running around inside and outside, keeping up with your feet as she follows you around the house, and making sure she explores every nook and cranny so she can share the treasures she found. She has been like most other puppies we have fostered, she just might need a little extra time to acclimate to her new environment.

From the vet team: I arrived at The Bond Between after receiving a traumatic injury to my head. My future adopters should know that I have some visual impairment but I am not fully blind. I also experience intermittent focal seizures and teeth grinding. No medication is required with a majority of focal seizures however, if they ever turn into Full Grand Mal seizures, my adopter would need to consult a veterinarian for treatment. Luckily, I have only been improving while in my foster home and there are currently no further recommendations for this at this time.

Go meet their pets

The Bond Between's goal is to not keep any animals at our rescue office. The majority of our animals are living in foster homes until they are adopted. Occasionally, animals are living in our rescue office that are in need of a foster home.

If you would like to meet an animal at our office who needs a foster, please reach out to inofficeanimals@thebondbetween.org and fill out our foster interest form at https://www.thebondbetween.org/foster

For more information on fostering or adoptable animals, please visit https://www.thebondbetween.org.

More about this rescue

The Bond Between is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that focuses on the bond between humans and animals. We were founded in 2009 as Secondhand Hounds. Since then, we have rescued over 29,000 dogs and cats with the help of thousands of fosters, volunteers, and supporters in our community. Our organization has grown from a rescue to a first-in-its-class animal wellbeing organization... now The Bond Between! We continue to provide safe shelter, proper veterinary care, and daily necessities for animals while working hard to help them build a bond with humans. We also focus on supporting the bonds that already exist between people and pets with our pet food shelf, respite foster care program, and focus on social services.

We wake up every morning saying YES to connecting people and animals, caring for them, and helping them fill each other’s hearts.

You can help support us today by donating, fostering, volunteering, or sharing The Bond Between.
