I am the first official FOSTER FAIL of Chasing Freedom :) I was rescued after sitting in the shelter for over 4 months, always trying to be on my best behavior. After getting settled in my foster home I quickly became best friends with my new foster brother, Chase (who is apparently famous for inspiring this rescue and being their mascot?), and we brought out the best in each other! After my new family saw how strong our bond was, they knew we couldn't stand to ever be a part and decided to let me stay forever! 

Before Chasing Freedom, I was looking for my forever home for over 2 years. I spent most of my time in a crate at a boarding facility, losing hope that anyone would come for me. At first, my friends at Chasing Freedom only came to take photos of me in hopes someone would see me and fall in love with my picture. But once they met me, they said they could not leave me behind and my new life began! What started as my foster dad became my best friend and he realized I was right where I was supposed to be. I now have a warm bed to sleep, lots of toys, treats, and belly rubs, and most importantly, a lifetime of love ahead of me! 

I was rescued from death row from a scary shelter in Miami Dade. I was only a year old with so much life to live! Once I was rescued I discovered what life really was! I am clumsy and could literally play with myself for hours. I now have a new life and a new family I could't love more! 

I came to Chasing Freedom after I wandered into someones backyard for safety and they called animal control on me. I was so scared when they cornered me that they told the shelter I was considered a risk to the public and they immediately gave me a "due out" date. I was rescued that very last day and never looked back! I now have a family that loves and accepts me and a little brother I love to protect! I can't believe I almost didn't get the chance to show the world how amazing of a friend I could be.  

I was the longest resident at the shelter when the Chasing Freedom family came to get me! They didn't understand how I could be there for so long, but once I tasted freedom I just couldn't look back. I discovered how to play in water, new toys, yummy yummies, and my favorite - long walks chasing whatever we can find. I now have a family that gives me everything I dreamt of and more! 

I was Chasing Freedom's first official rescue! They found me at the shelter after my family used me for breeding and then dumped me when they were done. I was so sad without my puppies and my "family" I just sat in my kennel and cried. Luckily I got a brand new start in life and I have never been happier! My family spoils me every single day and I love them more than I thought possible.
