A Heartbreaking Discovery in a Lonely Kennel
Animal rescues are never easy, but sometimes a single moment stays etched in the heart forever. For Tammy Graves, founder of the Haley Graves Foundation, that moment came during one of her visits to a North Carolina animal shelter.
She had walked through many shelters before, seen countless abandoned dogs, and heard stories that would break anyone’s heart. But nothing prepared her for what she saw when she came across a Labrador named June Cash.
In a cold, stark kennel, June lay curled into a tight ball, pressed against the wall as if trying to disappear. Her head hung low, her eyes dull and lifeless. She did not move when people passed by. She did not even turn around. It was as though the world had hurt her so deeply that she had given up on it entirely.
