Maya's Story
Maya’s story is one that weighs heavy on all of us. She was surrendered after a relationship split, left confused and grieving the only life she knew. Her owner shared that Maya originally came from someone who rescued her all the way from Alaska — this girl has already lived a lifetime of change, and yet she has always kept a happy, wanting to please personality.<br/><br/>She’s been described as wonderful with kids, cats, and dogs, and she’s fully housebroken. <br/><br/>But behind those eyes, we can feel it — Maya is heartbroken. She’s stir-crazy in the kennel, pacing, confused, and searching for the stability she’s lost. Shepherds don’t thrive in environments like ours; they need space, purpose, and a family to anchor them. Maya needs someone who can help mend her spirit and remind her that she is safe, wanted, and loved.<br/><br/>If interested in adopting, EMAIL: animalcontrol@whitesidehealth.org to request an adoption application! If you see an animal you are interested in adopting, and it is not fixed/vaccinated, please do not be discouraged, we generally can cover these costs! This can all be discussed during the time or your meet and greet if approved to adopt!
