soooooo cute!!!😍

**Deaf puppy in need of a home. Please share!**

Hi Everyone! I'm Kathleen. It's nice to meet you! I have a very important question to ask you.

What's that? I'm sorry. I can't hear you. I was born deaf. Please don't let that scare you off. We can learn to communicate with each other, I promise! I've learned to navigate the world around me without hearing a thing, and I'm doing so well. Especially considering my humble beginnings.

I'm 6 months old now and in a temporary home down south, but I grew up in a tiny 10 x 10 pen. My siblings and I never got to leave. When AHF's rescue partner stepped in to help me and two of my siblings, life turned around. I now know there's a big, beautiful world out there to explore. I learned about toys and having room to run and play. I have figured out how to be the joyful puppy I was always meant to be!

I have the chance to come to AHF on Saturday if someone will give me a foster or foster-to-adopt home. I'm friendly, good with all people, and good with other dogs and cats.

So back to that question I wanted to ask you: Can you find room in your heart and home for me? AHF can't help me unless I have a home to go to.

Please fill out an application if you can give me a home. Fostering is FREE! Or I'd love to be someone's forever family member. 🩷

Dry Needling

Dry Needling is a therapeutic technique that involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific trigger points within muscles, tendons, or connective tissues. These trigger points, also known as knots or myofascial trigger points, are often responsible for pain, muscle tension, and restricted movement. By targeting these trigger points, Dry Needling helps to release tightness, improve blood circulation, and promote the body’s natural healing response.

What is Dry Needling best suited for?

Dry Needling is particularly effective in addressing a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

Back pain and sciatica
Neck and shoulder pain
Headaches and migraines
Knee pain and joint stiffness
Sports injuries and muscle strains
Fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome

**Good news! Sonny has multiple applications. He's all set.**

Well here's a sad one...

Sonny was born at a shelter last spring. And there he has remained for the last 10 months. That's right—he has lived his ENTIRE life in a shelter. He has been lucky to have had a spot for that long, but his luck is about to run out, and he needs a rescue commitment asap.

AHF would love to help Sonny and give him the chance he has always deserved, but we can't do it without your help. We can only rescue him if someone can give him a foster or foster-to-adopt home. Can you help Sonny???

Sonny hasn't been passed over because there's something wrong with him. He's in a rural shelter with dismal adoption rates. (There are enough dogs running around loose or being given away that shelter dogs don't have much of a chance.)

One of Sonny's most impressive qualities is his ability to be happy with what he has. Some dogs break after ten months in a shelter, but spending almost all his time in a cage with his two brothers is all he knows, and he's okay with it.

Sonny loves people and gets so excited to be around them. Yes, he's jumpy, so he'd probably accidentally knock little kids over, but he's friendly toward everyone and should be totally fine with older kids. Sonny is great with other dogs. No aggression whatsoever. Cats are a maybe. He is curious about them and will bark but shows no interest in trying to hurt them. He's not a barker in general. He's usually pretty quiet in his cage and he doesn't tear up his blankets or towels. He doesn't get let out routinely like a house dog, so he'll have to learn that part of home life.

Sonny is a super fun, energetic, and playful young dog. He's full of life...for now. Please consider giving Sonny a home so we can rescue him!
