Some Dogs Ask for Your Attention. Shaya Is Quietly Hoping for Your Heart.
Every rescue group has that one dog. The one everyone agrees is wonderful, but somehow keeps getting passed over because she isn't the first to greet strangers or demand attention. The one whose eyes tell a story that words never could. The one who simply needs someone willing to see beyond the first five minutes. For us, that dog is Shaya.
Almost two years ago, Shaya was just a puppy herself there in rural Mississippi. At a very young age of about 9 months, she gave birth to a litter of puppies out in the woods of Mississippi and a rescue lady found them. The puppies were accepted at the shelter but the momma dog was rejected. They said to put her down. The lady who rescued the family contacted Critter Cavalry Rescue and begged us to take her and her sister who also had puppies born at such a young age. We did. Shaya was the most shutdown and scared at the time. Thankf...
