Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor, worriedly looking into the kennels.
I instantly felt her need and knew I had to help her.
As she stopped at my kennel I moved to the front, leaned my shoulder forward and gave a little wag.
I will admit, it was hard to be brave in the shelter environment. I didn’t want her to see, but I did tremble a bit.
As she read my kennel card, I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past as I have a bright future ahead.
She got down on her knees and began to speak to me. I wanted to say it was going to be okay but instead I got closer and leaned my head against the cage bars to comfort her.
Her gentle fingers caressed my neck, her eyes filled with tears, and then came the moment; she smiled at me.
I promised to keep her safe, to do everything I could to see that sweet smile, and sparkle in her eyes again.
I’m bathed, settled and fed, and tucked warmly in my new bed.
I should begin to unpack my baggage, lest I forget.
There has been so much to carry, so much regret.
Let’s start at the top, where I’ll first unpack Loneliness, Heartache, and Loss.
There by my leash hides Fear and Shame and I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain.
I loved them so much, the family I once had, the ones who left me with nothing but my bag.
Can you help me unpack please?
I pray that you can, for I’m so tired you see, but I do come with baggage, will you still want me?

Sadly, Cyiah’s history is a mystery, as she was brought into the shelter as a stray. She captured the attention of one of our representatives while she was there, which is how she became to be in our rescue. She’s in a foster home now where she’s doing amazing. She is housebroken, crate-trained, playful and sweet and does the best cheese smile you will ever see. Though social with people and dogs, she does take time to warm up. She will need a special family that will be understanding, loving and patient, that will give her the time she needs to unpack her baggage!
