Phoenix Seeks a Home for Sweet the Dog After Extended Foster Care
A two-year-old pit bull terrier mix named Sweet is looking for a permanent home after spending over 260 days in foster care in Phoenix. Her current foster parent, Michaela Orsmond, has reached out to the community to help find a loving family for Sweet.
Sweet has gained significant attention through an Instagram Reel depicting her comforting an emotional shelter worker. The video highlights her soothing nature and reinforces the idea that love is a reciprocal bond between pets and their owners. Orsmond believes Sweet’s calming presence could bring joy to a new family.
As an active dog, Sweet is described as a potential hiking and walking companion, enjoying walks ranging from 3 to 5 miles. Beyond her adventurous side, she also loves to snuggle and has adopted the role of a lapdog in her foster home. Orsmond explains that Sweet’s personality shines brightest in a calm environment, where she can receive the attention and affection she deserves.
Sweet is fully prepared for adoption, as she is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on all vaccinations. Additionally, she has been house, potty, and crate trained. While she gets along remarkably well with cats, Sweet would do best in a home where she is the only dog, allowing her to thrive without competition for attention.
In her quest to find a forever home for Sweet, Orsmond has been proactive in promoting her through local businesses and community events, such as trivia nights and music bingo. This outreach aims to raise awareness about Sweet’s situation and encourage potential adopters to consider her for their family.
Sweet has become a comforting presence for Orsmond during their time together. She enjoys accompanying her foster parent while working from home and even has a routine of watching the morning news with her. This bond reflects the deep emotional connection animals can form with their caregivers, further illustrating why Sweet deserves a loving home.
Potential adopters interested in meeting Sweet can schedule appointments through Almost There Rescue, the organization currently coordinating her foster care. The adoption fee for Sweet is set at $150, and further details regarding her adoption profile can be found online.
The search for a forever home for Sweet serves as a reminder of the countless animals in need of loving families. With Sweet’s gentle nature, training, and readiness for companionship, she presents an ideal opportunity for anyone looking to add a furry friend to their life.
