Shirley's Story

Shirley may be little, but her heart is enormous. This itty-bitty sweetheart can be frightened by new people and unfamiliar situations, but underneath that timid exterior is one of the gentlest souls you'll ever meet. The world can feel like a big, scary place to such a tiny girl—but every day, Shirley is trying. She walks beautifully on a leash, enjoys getting outside to stretch her little legs, soak up some fresh air, and is happiest with someone who gives her the time to feel safe. With patience, kindness, and love, Shirley will blossom into the faithful little companion she was always meant to be. She would thrive with a patient family, a quieter home, or an older couple looking for a devoted best friend.

Animal Rescue Fund of MS's Adoption Policy
Why should you consider adopting an animal? Easy - there is a severe overpopulation problem of cats and dogs in our country. According to the Human Society of the United States, six to eight million dogs and cats enter shelters each year, and out of those, three to four million are euthanised. View source There are simply too many animals. Why? Unwanted litters due to a failure to spay or neuter, backyard breeders, and puppy mills. Why are so many of these animals unwanted? People get old or ill, face financial difficulties, or simply wind up with an animal they were not prepared for. These animals are abandoned or surrendered to shelters in the millions.
