Midnight

Meet Midnight

Meet Midnight, a beautiful girl who is looking for a loving home and a patient adopter who will give her the time she needs to feel safe and confident.

Midnight came to us from an overcrowded home where the dogs were living in crates. They were found thin and living in unsanitary conditions, without regular access to clean bedding, adequate food, or fresh water.

Since coming into our care, Midnight has made wonderful progress. However, she still exhibits behaviors that indicate she experiences some fear and uncertainty when meeting new people or encountering unfamiliar environments. Given her history, it is likely that Midnight missed out on important socialization as a young dog. Undersocialized dogs can feel uncomfortable or unsure when meeting new people, experiencing unfamiliar places, or navigating new situations. For Midnight, patience and understanding will be especially important as she continues learning that the world can be a safe place.
Midnight will need an adopter who understands that trust takes time and is willing to let her build confidence at her own pace. Her ideal person will be patient, compassionate, and excited to continue her training using positive reinforcement. A gentle approach, consistency, patience, and a good sense of humor will be the keys to helping Midnight succeed.

Midnight may also benefit greatly from having a confident, well-socialized dog as a role model. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that she go to a home with another dog who can help show her the ropes and provide companionship as she continues to grow in confidence.

Midnight has already come so far, and with the right person by her side, we believe she has so much more potential to blossom. She just needs someone willing to see the beautiful, loving girl underneath her uncertainty—and give her the time and support she deserve

Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Midnight. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm-5pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.

Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) they are interested in and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.
