🌄 We first met Candy while camping with her family. A gentle giant—a mastiff/lab/bulldog mix—she remained calm and loving as two autistic twins tugged at her fur, climbed on her back, and laughed around her.

😭 Her owner, tears in their eyes, shared their fear: they were losing their home and worried Candy might end up somewhere unsafe. Without hesitation, we promised, “She’ll be safe with us.”

🏡 A month later, Candy became ours. The transition wasn’t easy—separation anxiety, chewed shoes, and shredded sheets were her first way of speaking her worry. But patience, love, and consistency worked their magic.

🌊 Today, she thrives. Candy swims in lakes, goes on camping trips, fetches endlessly, and even befriended our tiny Havanese, proving that friendship knows no size.

🚶‍♂️ To strangers, she may seem intimidating. But those who know her see her gentle spirit, her protective heart, and the unwavering loyalty that defines her.

💖 Candy isn’t just a dog. She’s our treasure, our joy, and a living testament to second chances. Her story is only beginning, and every day with her is a chapter of love, patience, and unshakable trust. 🐶✨
