Shelter Foster Pup – Warsaw
Warsaw is ready to go home, ready after a nine-month-long struggle, ready to walk beside her person, to gaze at him with two eyes. Warsaw needs someone to show her that her struggle mattered. Warsaw’s story began on September 24, 2025.
It was early. The veterinary clinic was closed, but a man stood beside the door, crying. He cradled a medium-sized, black pup, covered in blood, yelping in pain. He’d been driving in the dark, heading to work, when a dog, now called Warsaw, stepped into Warsaw Road.
Warsaw’s pelvis was shattered, her leg nearly destroyed, and an eye almost gone from concrete scrapes. A vet and a foster owner helped Warsaw survive and completely recover. Now Warsaw sees, walks and longs to love unconditionally.
Roxy has soulful, amber eyes, eyes that focus on faces and seem to understand the messages they send. The spayed, four-year-old American Foxhound’s mannerisms show that she’s lived closely with someone, someone Roxy wanted to please. So, she became perfectly housebroken and beautifully walks on a leash. She, unlike some of her breed, also lives in ladylike silence.
Itty-bitty Gotham’s mamma’s people weren’t interested in spaying or vaccinating her. After all, they didn’t plan to keep her in their family, even though Mamma believed that she had a lifelong home. After all, the people cuddled her, at least at first. But that was just entertainment for the people.
At just nine weeks old, little Bronco has lived a wild-west-style adventure. Just like humans on a wagon train, the puppy and his mamma traveled from place to place, hoping for a home. At night, like those on a wagon train, the little family camped. This family slept on the porch of the empty house where they’d lived.
