✨ Meet Hayley ✨ Born on 9/28/2025 and weighing about 21 lbs, Hayley is a young Shepherd/Pit Bull mix with soulful puppy eyes and so much potential 💛🐾 After being dumped at such a young age, Hayley is still learning that the world can be safe and people can be kind. Despite her rough start, she is incredibly sweet and deserving of a family willing to help her continue building confidence. Hayley does take time to trust, especially with men. When she feels nervous or overwhelmed, she may retreat, hide, growl, or create space between herself and others. These behaviors come from fear and insecurity — not aggression. She is looking for a patient, understanding home that will let her move at her own pace and allow trust to develop naturally over time. For Hayley, success looks like: 🐾 Calm, predictable routines 🐾 Giving her space when needed 🐾 Allowing her to approach on her own terms 🐾 Building confidence slowly through patience and consistency 🐾 Understanding that progress may take weeks or months — and that’s okay 💛 Dogs like Hayley are truly worth the wait. Watching a fearful dog slowly learn to trust and love is one of the most rewarding journeys there is. Hayley is not looking for perfection. She’s just looking for someone willing to believe in her. 🥹 WE DO NOT RECIEVE THE EMAILS FROM PETFINDER: TO BE CONSIDERED MUST APPLY AT: buddyandfriendsma.org/adopt
