Hope has scars on her face from where the bullets entered and will need possible mouth surgery in the future, but otherwise her health is back to normal.
Amber Neal, shelter manager of the Hope Humane Society, told WGHP that she was by Hope's side while she healed, but realized it was time for the dog to find a forever home.
“She's one amazing dog and she deserves the most amazing home,” Neal said. “With me having such a busy work schedule, with all the other babies that I am trying to save, she needs to be somebody's constant companion and that would make her the happiest dog in the world.”

Hope was brought to the Fort Smith Nature Center on Wednesday, where she met Arkansas park ranger Levi Koch.
Koch said he was so moved by Hope's story that he knew he had to adopt her.
“I would like someone to travel with me and see some neat places, do a lot of hiking and outdoor adventures,” Koch said.
The Hope Humane Society celebrated the news of Hope's adoption on Facebook.
