My Story
Hey Everyone,
I’m Angel, a 1.5-year-old Canaan German Shepherd mix with a story full of resilience and hope. I was born in Amman, Jordan, with four siblings. Our mother, Nala, was malnourished and couldn’t feed us, but a kind Swedish woman in the community took us in and gave us the care we needed to survive. Thanks to her collaboration with CDA, we made it to the US, where all five of us found homes in July of 2023.
Sadly, I was surrendered back to the rescue. My previous family had to give me up because the wife started active military service, and the husband didn’t want the responsibility of caring for me. But since I’ve returned to the rescue, I’ve blossomed into a more open, friendly, and confident dog. I love playing with other dogs every day, going on pack walks with the staff and other rescues, and just being part of the gang.
I am friendly an curious around dogs and people. When we go for pack walks, I am sometimes the leader of the group, and I help new or timid dogs find their confidence. I can be a little shy at first, but I’ve been comfortable around all the facility volunteers and staff, so we believe if given the time, training, and love I will feel safe and secure in my forever home. Now, I’m looking for someone who can provide me with the stability, kindness, and commitment I deserve.
I’m still young, with plenty of energy for walks, playtime, and adventures. I’m intelligent and loyal, with the heart of a survivor and a strong desire to bond with my people. I might be cautious at first, but once I know I’m safe, I’m your devoted friend for life.
If you’re looking for a dog with an incredible story and an even bigger heart, I’m here, waiting for my second chance at a forever home. Will you be the one to give me the love and stability I’ve been searching for?
