Come out to East Coast Wings + Grill on Saturday Nov. 14, and meet Sally! 🐾Sally is a sweet, affectionate Corgi/Australian Shepherd mix with a clever mind and an enthusiastic approach to life. Sally would thrive with: * An adult household or a family with older children. * Someone with herding-breed experience or an appreciation for clever, busy working-dog personalities. * A confident, patient person who offers gentle guidance and consistent boundaries. * A family who enjoys teaching new skills and providing mental stimulation and appropriate outlets for her herding instincts. * Dog friends who welcome an enthusiastic playmate, with a person who can help everyone pause for a breather when play gets too excitingIf you appreciate a smart, affectionate dog with a little herding-dog attitude and understand that being cute doesn't mean she gets to make all the rules, Sally might just be your girl!Read more about Sally on our website, fill out an application, then come out and meet her in person! www.cvrrescue.#rescuedismyfavoritebreedb#adoptdontshopt#Corgic#corgisofinstagrama#herdingdogsgd#herdingdogn#adoptionevente#lynchburgvaurgva ...

This is fostering. Tonight, we sat very still for a large part of the evening. This is Buddy’s first night in my home. Buddy isn't quite sure what to make of his new world—it’s big, noisy, and scary. The dogs here are bigger that his siblings. It’s clear he misses the only life he's known—his home, his siblings, his pack.You can see it in him. He wants so badly to let his guard down, to lean into affection, to trust that everything is going to be okay. But he's just not there yet.And that's okay. We will wait. Wouldn't it be wonderful if every rescue dog arrived happy, confident, and ready to love? But that's not always the reality of rescue.Sometimes fostering means sitting quietly with a dog who isn't ready to be held. Sometimes it means celebrating the tiniest steps forward. Sometimes it means giving love without expecting anything in return.My job isn't to make Buddy into the perfect dog. My job is to meet his basic needs, give him patience and space, and let him discover, at his own pace, that he's safe. That he's loved. That the world can still be a good place—and a lot less scary. Maybe there's a lesson here… We've probably all experienced moments when life changed unexpectedly..when what was familiar disappeared…when we needed time to find our footing again.In those times, we don't always need someone to swoop in and fix everything. Sometimes we just need someone willing to sit beside us, offer a little grace, and remind us through their actions that we're not alone.That's what fostering is.Buddy may not understand it yet, but he doesn't have to earn our love or hurry through his healing.He just gets to be Buddy.And one day, when he's ready, he'll take everything he's learned about love and trust into a forever home of his own. 💕If you've ever considered fostering, please know that you don't have to be perfect. You just have to be patient, compassionate, and willing to give an animal the chance they deserve.Buddy is not yet available for adoption, but stay tuned! In the meantime, if you would be willing to open your home to an animal in need, please consider fostering with us. Apply at cvrrescue.orgSusan ...
