My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Shy Snuggle BugMeet Summer – A Gentle Soul Ready to Bloom At first glance, the world can seem like a big, overwhelming place for sweet Summer. We believe she was likely raised as a backyard dog, with little exposure to the wider world—so new sights, sounds, and people can be a bit scary. But give her a little time and a gentle approach, and Summer will reward you with her trust, snuggles, and the sweetest kisses. At home, Summer’s true personality shines. She’s all sunshine—joyful, playful, and full of love. She absolutely thrives with other confident dogs, who help show her the ropes and bring out her playful side. Romping in the yard is one of her favorite things, followed closely by curling up for cuddles with her canine and human pals. Summer enjoys walks and is learning that car rides can be fun, too—with a little encouragement. She’s also working with a positive reinforcement trainer, and her adoption includes support to help her continue growing and gaining confidence. Summer is looking for a patient, loving home where she can take things at her own pace and continue to blossom. If you’re the kind of person who believes in second chances and quiet victories, Summer might be the perfect companion for your journey.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 29, 2025, 9:11 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Summer, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
