You may have seen doe eyes, but you've never seen eyes doey-er than this. 🥹
This precious little girly is Kaya, and she is a teeny 3 1/2 year old, 16lb mixed breed. Let us start by saying she is full of potential, and we are really hoping that someone truly special will give her the opportunity she deserves. ❤ She's a tender and innocent soul (umm... the pictures say it all) who really deserves someone's commitment. She LOVES to roll in the grassy play yards, and when she's around, stuffy toys don't stand a dang chance. But the heartbreaking thing about Kaya is that when eyes are on her, she makes herself small. She wants so badly to be a dog, and when she thinks no one is watching, she feels free. And you can tell how happy her heart is to enjoy the life she is living. We can say our staff and volunteers have made great progress, and we believe in her (get it, Queen). 💪 Every day her trust grows. She gets excited to greet people as they approach her kennel. Her tail wags on her short walks. She slowly and quietly approaches for pets, and she's even getting a feel for a lil' bit of cuddling. If this is what can be done in a shelter with devoted handlers, imagine what dedication can do in a patient and loving home. 🤲 We don't know what Kaya has been through; heck, we don't know much about her history at all. We were told she was transported to Wyoming; we don't know where from, and that she was adopted from a rescue. Unfortunately, she wasn't a good fit for the adoptive family, and with nowhere else to go, she made her way here. So, here we are, hoping for new beginnings and a lifetime of happiness. 💝 Kaya does well with dogs and cats, but she will do best in a calm, quiet home (sorry, little kids; you'll have to sit this one out). She doesn't have a mean bone in her body; she just needs to know she will be ok. With time, understanding as she settles, and guidance and reassurance, we have no doubt she will find comfort with her new family and be a very loving and loyal companion. ✨
Don't forget the shelter will be open from 12 pm - 5 pm tomorrow, and Kaya will be waiting for her special visitors.
