Abandoned because her people were tired of her

Shelby is a 6 yr old little Feist mix who was surrendered by an owner in southern VA who got tired of taking care of her. No matter how often we see it, having animals surrendered is always difficult. A dog's love is unconditional. The dogs don’t know why they are no longer home with their people. They just know they no longer feel loved or safe. They arrive scared and heartbroken, surrounded by other animals feeling the same. Being surrendered is terrifying even when it is the best option. 

We are at least grateful they were brought to the shelter and not left at the side of the road. Having an animal in your life is a blessing as well as a responsibility. Shelby just wants to go home but now she needs a new one. At Homeward Trails we can make sure she is comfortable for now and work to pair her with a family that is willing to make a commitment to her. We know she has so much love to give. She deserves people who can give her that love in return.
