About Angelica

Meet Angelica ��%A4%8D A wallflower with the sweetest soul Angelica was the longest resident at the shelter. Not because she was aggressive. Not because she was sick. Not because she was 'unadoptable.' She waited because she is excruciatingly shy. While other dogs barked, wagged, and pressed themselves against the kennel door, Angelica did the opposite. When strangers passed by, she curled into herself-quiet, small, hoping not to be noticed. And so, people passed her by�'�| again and again. We're going to be honest here: as a rescue, The Misfit Ranch rarely pulls extremely undersocialized dogs. They are harder to place. They take time. They don't stand out online amidst the masses of adoptable dogs with big smiles and waggy tails. But Angelica's kind eyes and peaceful vibe caught our attention. She is beautiful-possibly a Cur/Shepherd mix-with a soft, soulful expression and a presence that feels gentle rather than fearful. She's shy, but not because she doesn't want connection. She does. She just doesn't yet know how to ask for it. We didn't think that should warrant a death sentence, so we decided to follow our hearts and give her a chance. Even when she's scared, Angelica is incredibly sweet. She takes treats with the softest mouth imaginable. She allows gentle pets. She has never shown an ounce of aggression-only quiet uncertainty. She is a wallflower�'�| but a flower nonetheless ���� In foster care, Angelica is beginning to bloom. She comes out of her crate on her own and lays quietly in the kitchen while her foster mom cooks. She goes to the door when she needs to go potty. She enjoys the company of other dogs and is cat friendly. She thrives in calm, predictable environments where voices are soft and expectations are kind. We know her special person is out there somewhere. Perhaps reading this right now. At about 45 pounds, Angelica is the perfect medium size-easy to manage, easy to live with, and just right for someone looking for a peaceful companion. She is smart, observant, and learning every day that humans can be safe. Angelica won't be a 'shadow dog.' She may never greet guests at the door or seek constant attention. But if you are patient-if you move slowly, speak gently, and give her the gift of time-she will quietly, steadily, and completely wiggle her way into your heart. Angelica is looking for a special adopter. Someone who understands that love doesn't always arrive loudly. Someone who believes that the softest souls are often the most rewarding ones to love. And for the right person�'�| Angelica will be everything.
