Meet Bijou — A Tiny Warrior with a Heart of GoldWhen Bijou first came to us, she was barely recognizable — hairless, pink, and burning up from severe demodectic mange.She was scared, in pain, and had every reason to distrust the world. But this little fighter never gave up.Over the past month, something magical happened. With love, medical care, and patience, Bijou began to heal. Her soft fur is slowly coming back, patch by patch, like whispers of hope. And her heart? It's opening wider every day. She's learning that not all hands bring pain — some bring warmth, safety, and gentle pets.Now fully vetted and medically cleared, Bijou is ready for her forever home. She's quiet, observant, and deeply affectionate in her own shy way. She may start cautious, but with a calm voice and a little time, she'll curl right up beside you — a quiet testament to how much she trusts you.Bijou isn't just a survivor. She's a teacher.She shows us that even the most broken starts can heal. That resilience isn't loud — it's the quiet blink of an eye, the first time a scared soul chooses to step forward.She's not just looking for a home. She's looking for someone who sees her strength, honors her past, and celebrates her soft, fuzzy future. Bijou will do well in a home with another dog. Once warmed up she loves to play and share her gifts. You can also email homeward@ellijay.
