Story
Please contact Lindsay (rescuedp2024@icloud.com) for more information about this pet.                                                                             KENNEL ID #18804Royal is one of the reasons why we will always make room in our homes to rescue dogs. In her short life, she has already experienced just how unkind humans can be, through absolutely no fault of her own. But thankfully, kindness won.  Three very special people stepped up and donated their time and resources to make sure Royal could get the surgery she needed for her broken leg. Because of them, she has been given a second chance at the life she deserves. Royal will be safe, loved, and cared for by our rescue while she recovers. When she is ready, Royal will be available for adoption. In the meantime, we will begin reviewing applications so we can find her the perfect forever home. If you’d like to open your heart and home to this precious girl and be part of her next chapter, please submit an application to adopt her. Adoption Fee $400 ($75 refund with proof of spay)Thank you for your interest in rescue. If you would like to be considered for adoption, please submit an application to adopt. If you have any questions regarding the adoption process, please email:  rescuedp2024@icloud.com  or ddlu219@yahoo.com   for dog/puppies.    APPLICATIONS TO ADOPT : DOG     CAT     BIRD      REPTILE       SMALL ANIMALS       October 12, 2026, 5:51 pm

Story
Meet Story! This gorgeous 2–3-year-old Pit Bull mix weighs about 48 pounds and has the sweetest soul. She came to us as an unclaimed stray, and we knew we had to help her after seeing just how frightened she was in animal control. We believe Story may have lived a sheltered life before coming to rescue, and the big, unfamiliar world can still feel a little scary. Sometimes new things make her shake, but with a trusted human by her side, she finds the courage to keep going. Story has never shown a mean bone in her body. She's simply a gentle, loving girl who needs a little reassurance that everything is going to be okay. Once she feels safe, Story's affectionate personality shines! She loves cuddles, giving kisses, and staying close to her favorite people. She enjoys walks, car rides with her person, and sharing a few tasty snacks along the way. And those adorable ears that stand straight up? They're just the cutest! Story gets along well with other dogs but is not a match for a home with cats. She can do well with dog-experienced children who understand her gentle nature and need for patience. Story isn't looking for a perfect home or a life full of grand adventures. She just needs someone willing to take things at her pace, offer a little encouragement, and show her that the world isn't such a scary place after all. Could you be the person who helps Story write her happily-ever-after? She has so much love to give and is just waiting for someone to help her discover how wonderful life can be.
