About Malaya

Malaya spent the first seven years of her life in a puppy mill as a breeding mother.  She never knew a kind word or a gentle touch, and it shows.  She is shy and unsure about this new world around her, but we are showing her what love and safety feel like and Malaya likes those feelings.  She is slowly coming around to enjoy the presence of humans, and she is sweet and calm when resting in a lap.  Malaya will come to thrive in a patient family with people who will let her shine on her terms as she becomes accustomed to living in her very first home.

Becoming an HUA Buddy changes a life. For a monthly donation, you can befriend a dog or cat in need of some love and support until your fuzzy pal is adopted.

Her buddies, Chuck and Lyn Mohr from Albuquerque, NM, sent her this message:

“You’re in our thoughts and prayers. It just gets better from here…just ask Benny, Jellybean, Daisy, Nova, Pixie and Abby Poodle! All our love, The Mohr family”

Malaya sends lots of love to the Mohrs!
