DESCRIPTION
A dog who survived being abandoned shouldn't have to die because no one noticed her. Meet Myka, a beautiful 2-3-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback whose life now hangs in the balance at the ARC shelter in Ontario, California. Myks was dumped and left to fend for herself. A kind-hearted trapper found her and got her to safety, believing she was giving this sweet girl a second chance. She had no idea Myka would end up at one of the busiest, highest-intake shelters, where wonderful dogs are losing their lives simply because there isn't enough space. Now Myks is being overlooked. She is everything you could hope for in a companion-gentle, incredibly sweet, submissive, and dog friendly. She doesn't ask for much. Just a safe place to lay her head and someone to love her. Instead, she's running out of time. It's heartbreaking to think that after surviving abandonment, her story could end like this. She deserves to know what it feels like to belong to someone who will never leave her behind again. Please, if you've been thinking about fostering or adopting, let Myks be the reason. If you can't open your home, sharing her story could be what reaches the one person who can. She doesn't need thousands of people. She just needs one hero before it's too late. If you can foster, adopt, or rescue Myka, please reach out immediately. Time is running out for this beautiful girl, and she deserves so much more than becoming another heartbreaking shelter statistic.
