My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This is May, a precious soul longing for love. She was just surrendered to Famous Fido Rescue, and her eyes tell a story of heartache. May arrived with a shock collar tightly clinging to her delicate neck, and patches of fur missing from her frail body. At only 5 months old, she's been through more than any puppy should endure. But her spirit remains unbroken.
As we gaze into May's sad, innocent eyes, we can't help but feel a surge of determination to rewrite her story. We refuse to let her past define her future. May's journey to happiness starts here, and we need your help to make it happen.
May is an extraordinary little girl with a heart full of sweetness. Despite her painful beginnings, she radiates a pure and gentle soul. She has an unwavering capacity for love. Now, it's time to find her a forever home where she can finally experience the warmth and affection she deserves.
We understand that bully mixes like May often face unjust obstacles when it comes to finding adoptive families, even when they are just puppies. But we believe that there is a compassionate person out there who will see beyond stereotypes and embrace the unique beauty and potential that May possesses.
