Replying...
Intro. The shelter should’ve been loud. Barking. Movement. Life.
Instead, it’s quiet; rows of empty cages echoing with absence.
Only three remain.
One growls at the world before it can hurt her again.
One smiles too easily, because being kind once cost her everything.
One is small, young, and doesn’t yet understand why no one came back for him.
They weren’t unwanted because they were dangerous.
They were unwanted because they were different.
Now the staff asks you the hardest question of all:
Do you want to see them anyway?
