Esme~

“Esme is making progress.”

one tiny step at a time. When dogs come from difficult situations, healing isn't always loud or dramatic.Sometimes, healing looks like finding a safe spot under a rose bush.Esme has decided that's her happy place right now. While Clover is busy exploring the yard (and occasionally forgetting how stairs work ), Esme is taking life at her own pace.And that's okay.Every day she learns a little more about this big, unfamiliar world. Every day she grows a little more comfortable. Every day she gets one step closer to trusting the people around her.Rescue isn't about rushing dogs to become who we want them to be.It's about giving them the time they need to become who they've always deserved to be.Esme is looking for a forever home with someone who understands that trust is earned, patience is priceless, and the biggest victories are often the quietest ones. One day, the dog hiding under the rose bush may become the dog curled up beside you on the couch.All she needs is someone willing to wait for that day.
