My story

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

Meet Fauna 💚
Fauna’s journey hasn’t been an easy one, but her resilience shines through every day. She was found by a kind Good Samaritan on the side of the road, appearing as though she had been struck by a car. Exhausted, hurting, and scared, she was brought to us for help. Our team quickly got her to a veterinarian in Annapolis, where it was confirmed that she had indeed been hit.

Thanks to proper care, love, and time, Fauna is healing well — but her heart needs healing too. Because of her past trauma, she can take a little while to warm up to new people. Once she trusts you, though, her loyal and alert nature shines. She’ll let you know if someone is coming to the house, making her a great little “alarm system” with a big heart.

Fauna does wonderfully with dogs, cats, and would do best in a home with kids over 12 who can understand her need for space and gentle handling. She’s looking for a home that will give her patience, understanding, and a safe place to feel secure again.

If you’re ready to help a brave girl learn to trust and love again, Fauna is waiting for you. 💕
