Can I trust you?
Update: Shirley was adopted on May 15th!This angel has seen the darkest side of human nature, and it has damaged her soul.
But Shirley is a gentle spirit with a loving nature. She will bloom again.
Recovering from extreme physical abuse and neglect can take months or years. She is on to a good start here, bonding with other dogs, receiving grooming care, and the tender touch of staff and volunteers who show her they love her.
Today is very special for Shirley -- she has recovered to the point where she is ready for adoption. Her recovery must continue in her new home. A "big brother or sister" dog in the home may help tremendously, especially if he or she has a nurturing personality.
Shirley is a Miniature Poodle mix, spayed female, approximately 4-5 years of age. Please budget extra for regular grooming.
Please make sure Shirley only sees the better side of human nature from now on.
