(1) Calling all of my friends who are healers and/or animal communicators, we have little time to act on behalf of this precious soul. I'm requesting remote energy cleansing, healing, and communication to help this dog in desperate need of calming and restoring to peace. We have less than two days before he's euthanized if a rescue isn't found in time. At the very least, we can at least help him leave this life with greater peace.
(2) Prayer warriors, if any dog ever needed our prayers, this one does! Please join me in praying that he stops being fearful and that a rescue comes forward immediately.
(3) Most rescues are overwhelmed with intake and are full. The head of Red Barn Rescue absolutely loves GSDs, but they are crazy full and cannot help. If you have rescue contacts, please reach out to them on behalf of this dog.

This post comes from Toby Leone, who was asked to try to help him by the people who were feeding him.

Friends, this poor dog has a final hold of this Thursday, October 1, at 4 p.m. at the Harnett County Animal Shelter in Lillington, North Carolina.
Sadly, his whole life was turned upside when his owner was no longer able to care for him. Neighbors had been feeding him until Animal Control came to get him. He was befriended by those who were helping him temporarily, but since he has been at the shelter, he is extremely fearful, attempting to bite if pressed too far. Without someone experienced in helping very fearful dogs, he cannot be released to the public for adoption.
(To be honest, I don't know if the shelter can release to rescue at this point with his extreme fearfulness.)

The person who was feeding him is heartbroken that she can't personally help him because she has other animals. If you're a rescue, email Rebecca at [email protected] to see if you can meet him to see if he could possibly be rescued.

✍️ The Hardest Person to Forgive - We can forgive others with surprising ease sometimes. A friend hurts us, and eventually we let it go. A stranger wrongs us, and we find a way to move past it. But when it comes to forgiving ourselves? That’s where we become stuck.

Regret holds us like nothing else can. We replay our mistakes endlessly—the words we shouldn’t have said, the choices we wish we could undo, the people we hurt. We carry these memories like heavy chains, dragging them everywhere, unable to walk forward, trapped in a past that cannot be changed while life continues flowing around us.

Forgiving ourselves does not erase what happened. It does not pretend our mistakes don’t matter or that we caused no harm.

What it does is release the weight so we can actually do something meaningful with what we’ve learned. It frees us to become better, to grow from our mistakes rather than being crushed by them, to walk forward with the lightness we need to bring peace to others.

How can we offer peace to the world when we are still at war with ourselves? How can we extend compassion to others when we withhold it from our own hearts?

Peace begins within—not just with calming our minds, but with learning to treat ourselves with the same gentleness, the same understanding, the same mercy we so readily offer to everyone else.

We are human. We may make mistakes. This is not a failure—this is simply what it means to be alive, to be learning, to be walking a path we’ve never walked before.

The question is not whether we will stumble. The question is: Will we allow those stumbles to define us forever, or will we learn from them, forgive ourselves, and keep walking?

Let us be gentle with our own hearts. Let us forgive ourselves—not as an ending, but as a beginning. Not as permission to repeat mistakes, but as freedom to become who we are truly capable of being.

You deserve your own compassion. You deserve to walk forward, lighter and freer, carrying wisdom instead of chains.

May you and all beings be well, happy, and at peace.
