Pragedes

I did not mean to follow him at first. I was scared and exhausted from being alone, yet something about him felt safe. I stayed on the porch even though I was not ready to be touched, choosing to observe rather than run, and slowly I learned that his kindness showed up as a gentle approach. As I grew more secure, my real personality emerged—I am playful, energetic, and deeply devoted to my daily walks and squeaky toys. I love learning, already know how to sit, and am proudly mastering “paw,” especially when praise is involved. I walk well on a leash, interact nicely with other dogs, and although I am still somewhat cautious around children, steady patience helps me relax. I have been through a great deal, but I am not broken. I am resilient, affectionate in my own gentle way, and ready for a home where I can continue discovering what love truly feels like. I dream of my own bed, my own toys, and a human who understands that the strongest bonds are built slowly and will choose me as I choose them, with my whole heart.<br/><br/>If you are interested in meeting this pooch, please download the Adoption Questionnaire (farescue.org/pdf_files/questionnaire_canine.pdf), fill it out and email it back to us at info@farescue.org or fax (310) 362-0321. You can also meet this and/or other available dogs at our weekend adoptions.<br/><br/>[Pragedes is 3 years old and weighs 60 lbs.]<br/><br/>(2602)
