Curly’s Story
Curly, a Mountain Cur, was saved from a grim fate and arrived at Castoff Pet Rescue in Blairsville, GA, on March 30, 2024. Overwhelmed and fearful, this brindle-and-cream beauty has struggled in the shelter, his sensitive nature clashing with the noisy environment. Not aggressive, just scared, Curly’s tender heart yearns for a safe haven.
With no prior chance at love, he’d flourish with a kind female dog and a patient human who can move at his pace. Too frightened for touch now, Curly’s transformation awaits someone who sees his potential and offers unwavering support over the past 553 days.
