PETS OF THE WEEK
Maya
This is Maya, a husky mix. She’s a trained therapy dog and patients love her (she’s sweet and soft). She has one eye (genetic issue) so she can empathize with people with disabilities/challenges.
She’s also probably about the laziest husky that has ever lived but she’s a sweetheart!
