I'm Shadow
Hey there, I’m Shadow! 🐾
I’m 9 years old and 90 pounds, and I have a whole lot of love left to give. I used to have a home. I had my person, and I loved him very much. Then one day, my person was gone. He passed away, and I didn’t understand why he wasn’t coming back.
I still look for him. I think that’s one of the hardest things about all of this. I don’t know why my life changed so suddenly. I went from having my person and my home to being in a shelter, wondering where I belonged.
And then, when things were looking very scary for me and I only had hours left to make it out of the shelter alive. Then someone stepped in and saved my life. ❤️
Now I’m with Canine Healing Project, and they’re helping me get ready for the next chapter of my life.
I’m a big, gentle guy. I’ve done well meeting other dogs, including dogs 55 pounds and larger. I also seem to be potty trained because I like to keep my space clean. At 9 years old, I’m not asking for much. I just want someone to love me again.
I do need a little help with my health. I’ll be neutered, and I need surgery for an eye condition called entropion. My friends here are making sure I get the care I need.
But what I really need can’t be fixed with surgery.
I need a family.
I need someone who will give me time to understand that I’m safe. Someone who will be patient while I learn that I’m not being left behind again. Someone who will let me love them in my own big, goofy, senior-dog way.
I know I’ll never replace my person.
And maybe that’s okay.
My heart has room to love someone new.
I’m hoping that somewhere out there is a person who will look at this big, 9-year-old boy and see what I am:
A dog who loved his person so much that he still looks for him. A dog who lost his home through no fault of his own. And a dog who deserves to know what it feels like to be someone’s beloved dog again.
Maybe that someone is you.
I have so much love left.
❤️
Love, Shadow

Hey there, I’m Zion! 🐾
I’m a handsome Rottweiler with the soulful eyes to prove it. Nobody knows my whole story, I was found as a stray and ended up at the shelter, where my time was running out fast. But just like my friend Zuri, the Canine Healing Program showed up right when I needed them most. Talk about good timing.
Here’s the thing about me: I may look big and tough, but I’m actually a calm, sweet soul. I love people.
Now, full honesty: my leash manners are still a work in progress. Life on the streets didn’t come with an obedience class. But here’s the good news, I’m very smart, and I’ll do just about anything for a treat or a little affection (okay, a lot of affection). My trainers say I’m a quick study, and I’m proud to say I agree.
Mostly, I’m just grateful. Grateful for second chances, soft beds, kind hands, and the people who saw something in me worth saving. I plan to spend the rest of my life proving them right.
Come say hi sometime, I’ll be the big sweetheart waiting to meet you. 🖤

I'm Zuri
Hi, my name is Zuri! 🐾
I’m a yellow lab, about 4 years old and a petite 50 pounds of pure sunshine. My story almost had a very different ending — my time was up at the shelter when the Canine Healing Program found me. Turns out, my life wasn’t ending. It was just getting started.
Here’s what you should know about me: I am happy. All the time. It’s kind of my thing. I wake up happy, I go to sleep happy, and in between, all I want to do is love and be loved. The humans here say I have a gift for it.
I’m no wild child, either — I walk beautifully on a leash and know my basic commands. I’m a good listener (some might say the best listener), and I’ve never met a person I didn’t adore.
Everyone here believes I’m going to make an incredible therapy dog, and honestly? I think they’re right. I was made for this — sitting quietly beside someone who needs a friend, offering a soft head to pet and a heart that never runs out of room.
I can’t wait to meet you. And when I do, I promise you’ll leave feeling a little lighter than when you arrived. That’s just what I do. 💛

Hi, I’m Ren! 
I may not be the newest kid at Canine Healing Project anymore, but I’m still waiting for my forever person to find me and I know they’re out there.
I was just a puppy, only 7 months old, when CHP rescued me from the shelter. My time was almost up, and I was days away from losing my chance at life. I’m still not sure how I ended up there because I have so much love to give and so much life ahead of me.
I’m a smart, energetic boy who loves to learn. Training is one of my favorite things because I love spending time with my people and showing them how quickly I can pick things up. I have a curious mind, a big heart, and I’m ready for someone who wants a companion to share life’s adventures with.
I’m looking for a family who understands that my energy is part of what makes me special. I don’t just want to sit on the sidelines, I want to explore, play, learn, and be part of the action. Whether it’s hiking, training, adventures, or simply being your best friend, I’m ready to experience everything life has to offer.
I love people, I’m great with kids, and I enjoy the company of other dogs. With a little continued guidance and a lot of love, I know I’m going to be an incredible companion.
I was given a second chance because someone saw my potential. Now I’m waiting for the person who sees it too.
I’m not just looking for a home, I’m looking for my purpose.
Love,
Ren
