In 2020, a timid dog named Shyla was found wandering the streets alone and brought to the Humane Society of Naples in Florida. Since then, she has spent over 1,500 days—more than four years—waiting for a family to call her own.
Initially nervous around new people, Shyla requires time to warm up to strangers. However, once she forms a bond, she reveals a playful and affectionate side, enjoying activities like running in the yard and indulging in treats. Despite the shelter staff’s efforts to provide her with enrichment and comfort, the prolonged stay has taken a toll on her spirit. “There is a sadness in her eyes, even on her good days,” noted Patrizia Vila, events and outreach coordinator at the Humane Society of Naples.
Shyla’s story has resonated with many, highlighting the challenges faced by long-term shelter residents. Her friends at the shelter continue to hope that someone will recognize her potential and offer her the loving home she deserves.
If you’re interested in adopting Shyla or learning more about her, please contact the Humane Society of Naples. Your compassion could change her life forever
