Dee

Meet Ms. Dee! This pretty girl is as sweet and gentle as she is adorable. <br/><br/>Ms. Dee arrived quietly with no fanfare, no belongings ~ just 12 years of life etched into a tiny 11-lb body that has clearly seen better days. Ms. Dee was surrendered to a rural Virginia shelter in heartbreaking condition and then made her way to us, hoping someone would finally notice how much she still deserves.<br/><br/>Ms. Dee stood patiently while we cleaned her up, clipped away painful mats, soothed scabby skin, and gently cleared the gunk from eyes that had likely been ignored for far too long. She was sweet, gentle, and trusting ~ the kind of dog who breaks your heart because she’s so grateful for the bare minimum. Dee soaked up every moment of pampering and emerged soft, shiny, and very aware of how adorable she is.<br/><br/>Since then? She’s claimed a cozy bed as her new kingdom, sniffed the yard alongside her new friends, and is warming up more each day. She’s shy, but she lights up at mealtime (same, girl). Walks are a mystery to her—leash and harness are clearly new concepts—but we’ll take it slow. She’s learning that the world doesn’t have to hurt anymore.<br/><br/>We just welcomed spayed female shih tzu 12 years 11 lbs Dee.<br/><br/>Fostered in Woodbridge, VA<br/>please apply at mirishaven.org
