Candace

My story

There's something about fall — the way the air changes, the way light softens, the way old things shed to make room for new growth. For Candace, this season is her turning point. When she was first rescued, Candace was hidden beneath layers of mats and fear. She could barely walk and wanted to disappear. But with time, patience, and the gentle care of her foster mom, she's begun to bloom. Now, Candace greets each morning like a new chapter — trotting around the yard, inspecting every leaf, chasing the wind, and stretching in the sun. She's learning what safety feels like, what trust feels like… what home could feel like. She's still not a fan of the crate or fish oil (some things never change), but she's stronger, healthier, and happier every day. Candace is heartworm positive and continuing her slow-kill treatment, but that doesn't stop her from embracing this new season with confidence and curiosity. Candace would do best as the only dog, soaking up all the attention and calm she deserves. **Candace is being fostered in Texas. Paid transport can be arranged.
