In the kennel vs. In a home. 💔➡️❤️
In her kennel, Sparrow was completely shut down, terrified, and invisible to everyone passing by. But a shelter kennel isn’t a reflection of a dog’s personality—it’s just a reflection of their fear.
Once she was pulled into foster care, she got the safe, quiet space she needed to decompress. With a little time, love, and patience, the real Sparrow finally came out—tail wags, kisses, and all! 🥹✨
So many dogs are sitting in shelter kennels right now, hiding who they truly are simply because they’re scared. Fostering saves lives by giving them the chance to decompress and shine.
🐾 Sparrow is ADOPTABLE!
    •    Shelter: Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control
    •    ID: A1267599
There are so many other dogs just like Sparrow at the shelter right now who desperately need a foster home to show their true colors.
📲 Click the link in my bio to apply to foster and view all the dogs currently at the shelter! Reach out directly if you want suggestions on who to foster. I would love to help match you with a dog in need! #clt #rescuetailsclt #charlottenc #dogsofinstagram #scareddog

So true! And the jumpy ones!!! Dua is the bestest girl — so calm and chill in the real world, but she was a wild girl in the kennel 🩷🩷
