When we think about dogs, we think about love. They bring us so much joy and affection. Most humans understand this sacred relationship and cherish their pups like valued family members.
Some, however, do not. This is Isabella’s story.
Isabella’s owner kept her chained outside on a short lead. He did not provide food or water. Neighbors had to sneak food and water to her.
Isabella’s sole purpose was to give birth to puppies and make her owner money. She had never felt loved or appreciated. Neighbors did what they could so she’d survive, but it wasn’t a permanent solution.
Thankfully, one of them reached out to a rescue group and asked for help.
Rescuers from The Happy Doggo raced over. They met Isabella and were determined to help her. They saw how short her lead was, and it broke their hearts.
She could hardly move around and was in pain because of it. This was not acceptable! The neighbors explained to the rescuers that Isabella had been living on that chain her whole life.
Despite the horrible things Isabella had been through, she was such a happy dog. She eagerly greeted her rescuers by wagging her tail and smiling.
They desperately wanted to take Isabella with them right away, but they needed the owner to surrender her. The team from Happy Doggo reached out to authorities and other rescue groups for assistance.
They started negotiating with the owner to see if he would be willing to release her. They realized it would be challenging, but it was necessary.
After a lengthy process, he finally agreed to let her go. The rescuers brought her to a foster home where she could begin her recovery.
Under their care, she underwent an amazing transformation. It was evident from the start that she was a very social dog, and this became increasingly clear as she settled in.
Isabella got her very own bed, toys, and blankets. Her smile hasn’t left her face since! We are over the moon for this dog’s happy ending!
