⚠️🚨𝐔𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐍𝐎𝐖🚨⚠️ ZELDA is to be euthanized this Wednesday morning. She must have a plan by Wednesday 5/7 at 8 AM. We are very worried for ZELDA’s safety. She is still a loving puppy and has no idea what horror awaits here before the shelter even opens at 1 PM!

Will anyone even notice ZELDA and give her a chance to be cared for and loved before it is too late to save her❣️

She’s young, happy, friendly, and deserves so much more than a shelter ending her life‼️
