About Mya At Risk

Mya is a lovely adult German Shepherd currently at risk and in urgent need of a safe home. After losing her family due to a divorce, she ended up in animal control, which has understandably made her anxious around dogs, although her intake notes indicate she has done well with both dogs and children in calmer settings. It’s important to approach Mya’s acclimation to any new dog slowly, especially one of similar size, to help her find comfort in her new environment. She’s a gem who deserves a chance to thrive in a loving home. Mya is not available to the public and is currently rescue-only. Will you help change her fate?
