Esther's Story

Meet Esther <br/>Affectionately known as “ Essie”<br/>Breed: Boxer Mix<br/>Age: 8 years<br/>Weight: 40 lbs<br/>**Adoption fee sponsored by: The Mathes <br/> Meet Esther.<br/>Some dogs arrive like a whirlwind.<br/>Esther arrived as a fighter.<br/><br/>This sweet 8 year old Boxer/Bully mix came to us quite literally on death’s door from starvation. Emaciated, exhausted, and hanging onto life by a thread, Esther’s future was heartbreakingly uncertain.<br/><br/>But Esther had other plans.<br/>Today, what shines through is not her past, but her incredible spirit. She has a gentle, peaceful nature that somehow makes every room feel calmer. No chaos. No wild antics. Just a lovable, affectionate dog whose favorite hobbies include snuggling, handing out kisses, and being close to her people.<br/><br/>And yes… she is definitely a kisser. Consider yourself warned.<br/><br/>Esther is the kind of dog who sleeps soundly through the night, isn’t destructive, and believes a cozy bed and quality time with her humans are among life’s greatest treasures.<br/><br/>She gets along beautifully with a wide variety of dog friends and would happily welcome a canine companion in her future home.<br/><br/>She’s also been working hard on her leash manners. She’s still learning, but she has made wonderful improvements and keeps getting better every day.<br/><br/>What Esther wants most isn’t complicated:<br/><br/>A home full of love. Humans ready for snuggles. <br/>A soft place to land. Maybe a dog friend, but would be happy to be a solo dog soaking up all the love too. And definitely snacks.<br/><br/>For a dog who once fought simply to survive, Esther is remarkably soft, trusting, and full of love. Now all she needs is a family to finally call her own.<br/><br/>Could that someone be you?<br/> <br/> Prior to meeting or adopting any of our wonderful animals, we ask that you please fill out our online application: https://form.jotform.com/223268341300041<br/><br/> We are a 100% volunteer organization and have to work other jobs to pay the bills. Please give us up to 48 hours to respond. <br/><br/>Submission of an adoption application does not obligate you to adopt nor does it guarantee approval. We look forward to hearing from you. <br/><br/><br/>Please note all animals in the home must be altered, up to date on vaccines, and be on heartworm prevention. We understand there are some special cases and will take those into consideration.
