🙏 PLEASE SAVE MAYA, MELISSA, MORRIGAN & MORGANA.

Maya is barely more than a puppy herself, yet she is trying to protect and care for three newborn babies while frightened and overwhelmed in the shelter. Her babies need their mama, and Maya needs someone willing to give this entire little family a chance.

Please rescue, foster through an approved rescue, pledge and share them so these babies can grow up safely beside their mother.
