Tyra was found in a nearby rural community and brought to the safety of our shelter. Tyra was very hungry and had the battle scars of having been on her own for some time. Half of her tail looked like a thin twig, so after she gained some weight and strength, it was decided it would be best if that part of her tail was amputated. A young woman had read Tyra’s story on Petfinder.com and instantly fell in love, sight-unseen. Tyra was adopted to her with no fee because we knew she would give her just the right home.
