Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Meet Shyla! This shy and gentle girl is looking for her forever home. Estimated to be about five years old, Shyla came to the shelter as a stray, so her history is a bit of a mystery. Life outside a loving home left her under-socialized, and she can be easily spooked by loud noises, strangers, or new environments. While still fearful, with lots of patience she is starting to show affection—her little tail wag and growing trust are heartwarming signs of progress. Shyla delights in gentle pets and is slowly learning the comforts of being a family dog. Because she isn’t fully house trained yet, continued training and patience will be important for her. A quiet home with a consistent, supportive person will help her blossom, and a fenced-in yard is highly recommended; she’s a flight risk and would benefit from the consistent structure of safe outdoor time or careful leash walks. Shyla has done well with other dogs in the shelter and will likely thrive in a home with a calm canine companion, but a meet and greet is required if you have another dog. She’s spayed, microchipped, and her vaccinations are up to date. Shyla has a long journey ahead, but she’s ready and waiting for someone special to help her write her next chapter. Come meet this beautiful, sensitive soul and see the difference you could make in her life. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
