Meet Chanel, a resilient 3 to 4-year-old terrier mix who survived a heartbreaking start after being abandoned in a crowded New Mexico shelter. She was on the euthanasia list, terrified and completely shut down. We brought her to Texas to give her a second chance, and she has beautifully blossomed into an energetic, happy dog who even donates blood to save other lives in need. While her transformation is incredible, she isn't perfect yet. Chanel is still searching for a patient family and a canine companion to help her rebuild her faith in humanity and learn to trust again. She enjoys being around toys and balls, particularly soft squeakers, though she gets easily startled if they are too loud. She is also still working through her past trauma and can be quite flinchy when hands reach toward her, meaning she will need a gentle, understanding environment where she can take things at her own pace and finally discover what it feels like to be truly safe.
