Notes from Project Hope Animal

Meet Zuri: A Gentle Soul Looking for Her Safe Haven Zuri is trying so hard... she just needs someone to believe in her. After doing her job as a brave mama—giving birth to 8 puppies at Memphis Animal Services—it is finally Zuri's turn to be loved, protected, and cared for. Her past wasn't kind, and the world can still feel a little scary to her, but beneath her shy exterior lies a deeply gentle, sweet, and loving dog desperate for a second chance. We are urgently searching for a foster or forever home where Zuri can blossom. What Zuri Needs in Her Next Home Patience & Understanding: Loud noises like the wind or sudden movements can startle her. She needs a quiet home with a human who will let her go at her own pace. A Dog Sibling: We believe a home with another loving dog will help Zuri learn to be a dog and trust humans. A Safe Space: Zuri loves her crate and views it as her safe zone, quietly sleeping in her kennel at night right next to your bed. Notes From Her previous Foster: "She loves finding sticks and playing chase with my dog... She’s gentle and sweet, but has had an unfortunate past and sometimes has setbacks trusting humans. She needs patience and time." "Her crate was her safe place... She never had an accident, was never destructive, and just wanted to be near my dog. My heart breaks for her. She needs a special person with patience and love." How You Can Help Zuri Zuri is waiting, trying her absolute hardest, and deserves to know what a safe, forever love feels like. Please don't let this sweet mama be overlooked. Born 10/31/23 Apply to Foster or Adopt: projecthopearf.org
