Cony

My story

Hi… I’m Cony. I may look strong and steady now, but my story began much too harshly, much too early. When I was only three months old, I was tied up in a place where dogs were not loved — a place where I was never meant to feel safe. I was still just a baby who should have been beside my mother, yet all I knew was a rope and a fear I didn’t understand. One day, the rope came loose, and I stepped out into the world. But the world wasn’t safe for a tiny puppy either. I wandered until people tried to catch me. They had to use tranquilizer darts — three times. Not because I hated people. Not because I ran away from them. But because I kept going toward them. Even then, I wagged my tail. I looked into their eyes. I tried to walk closer. And somehow, that small, stubborn love in my heart gave me another chance at life. I still love people. I greet new faces with a gentle, open heart, and I get along well with other dogs too. I walk nicely on a leash, ride calmly in the car, and can stay comfortably in a flight crate if needed. I understand basic cues like sit, paw, down, and house, and I always try my best to listen. I just… really love affection. When you pet me, I might quietly ask, “Can you love me a little more?” It isn’t a behavior problem — it’s simply the tender heart of a dog who didn’t receive enough love in the beginning. Right now, I’m doing well with my potty routine. But if I move to a new home, I may have a few accidents at first. New environments can make me nervous, and I may need some time to adjust. If you guide me gently and give me patience, I promise I will learn and settle in beautifully. I’m only three years old — still young, yet I’ve already been through so much. And still, I never gave up on people. I still walk toward you. I still wag my tail. What I’m wishing for isn’t anything extraordinary — just someone who calls my name, a happy walk each day, and the quiet reassurance that says, “You’re safe now.” I hope the next chapter of my life is not about fear, but about peaceful, ordinary days filled with love. Will you be the family who writes that story with me? 🐾💛
