This isn’t one dog. It’s thousands, sitting in shelters across America, waiting. If you’ve ever thought about adopting… this is your sign. Go make a friend for life.

Sherman’s progress has been incredible, and it hasn’t even been 48 hours. A little routine, lots of sniffing, calm exploration, and time to just be a dog has gone a long way. He’s checking in, asking for affection, showing solid recall, and even loading into his kennel on his own. I’ve also been taking my time on the road. New sights, smells, steady movement, and structure can be incredibly settling for dogs navigating big life changes. When you slow things down, dogs show you who they really are.

We’re going to rescue a lot of dogs this year!
