This beautiful Great Dane/Lab mix was found as a stray suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Despite the pain, fear, and neglect she endured, Faith has shown nothing but gentleness and gratitude to the people helping her heal. Today, all of her wounds have been treated and are healing beautifully. At about 3.5 years old, Faith is safe, warm, and finally learning that she no longer has to worry about where her next meal will come from or whether she can trust the humans around her. Faith Suzette is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and crate trained. She recently tested heartworm positive and will begin treatment soon. Right now, we're focused on helping her settle in, gain a few healthy pounds, and realize that the hard part of her life is over.
