FRR Alum Baylee was adopted in April of this year, and she’s been settling beautifully into her forever home ever since! While she did have to undergo an emergency spay shortly after adoption, this sweet girl has been recovering well and soaking up all the love and comfort her new family has to offer. 💕
🧸 Bay is just now beginning to really come out of her shell, and it has been so heartwarming to watch her personality bloom. She’s discovered the joy of crinkly squeaky toys and has started playing more every day! One thing she already knows for sure? Belly rubs are absolutely the way to her heart. 🐾
😂 Her mom lovingly jokes that Baylee doesn’t actually bark — she “boofs!” It’s more of a tiny little funny sound than a real bark, and it perfectly matches her adorable personality. Everyone who meets her can’t help but smile at her quirky little noises.
🌱 Baylee may still be a bit of a big chicken and gets startled easily, but she’s working hard on building confidence and practicing her social skills every single day. With patience, encouragement, and lots of love, she’s slowly learning that the world isn’t such a scary place after all. 💛
🐦 One of Baylee’s favorite things is tagging along on her mom’s birdwatching walks and outdoor adventures. Their favorite place to explore together is Brumley Nature Preserve North, where they enjoy peaceful hikes surrounded by nature. And of course, every outing comes with one very important rule — stopping for treats is absolutely required! 🍪🐶
💖 We are so thrilled to see Baylee thriving in a home that understands her gentle spirit and celebrates all of the little things that make her special. Happy tails, sweet girl!
👀 We absolutely love hearing about how our alumni are doing! Want to see your alum featured? Share their photos and stories on our alumni page—you could be our next spotlight!
“Hawk” might be her name, but this sweet girl is much more of a tiny woodland creature than a fierce bird of prey. 🥺❤️
After spending her life surviving and raising puppies, Hawk is finally learning how to just be a dog — discovering toys, cuddles, treats, and the safety of being loved. She’s shy, gentle, endlessly sweet, and looking for a patient home where she can keep building confidence one little tail wag at a time.
