Angel

My story

Angel has spent much of his life being overlooked. He came to us from the Yuma Humane Society after spending far too long without a family to call his own. To our knowledge, Angel has never truly known what it means to have a consistent, loving home—and that breaks our hearts.But despite everything he’s been through, Angel still wants to believe in people.Because of his past, Angel carries some deep-seated insecurities. He’s still learning how to feel safe in the world, and he needs someone who can guide him with calm confidence and patience. He’s looking for a person who isn’t just loving, but who can offer the steady leadership he’s never had—someone who can show him that he doesn`t have to be on guard anymore.He’s not the right fit for a home with children or other pets. Angel needs a structured environment where he can truly thrive—where his person is not just a caretaker, but a leader, a teacher, and above all, a friend for life.Angel is an active, playful boy who lights up when he’s outside romping around with toys or exploring the yard. He recently spent two weeks at a board and train facility where he made huge strides. He now walks comfortably on a leash, knows basic commands like “sit” and “lay down,” and has started to understand what life inside a home should feel like. His trainer has generously offered to continue working with his future adopter, giving Angel every opportunity to keep growing into the amazing companion we know he can be.Angel is working every day to be the perfect dog—but maybe you aren’t looking for perfect. Maybe you’re looking for a dog that needs you as much as you need them. A dog who, with patience, guidance, and love, will reward you with a bond deeper than words.Angel has so much potential. All he needs is someone willing to believe in him—someone to give him the chance at life and love that he’s never truly had.Could that someone be you?
