How can you say no to a dog begging for help?
Just looking into those eyes full of hope makes me want to adopt every dog in need of help. Sadly, not all canines have the privilege of being welcomed into people’s lives with arms wide open.
For one California pup, that nightmare began when she stumbled upon a random porch. Having nowhere to go and no one to help her, she put all of her trust in the residents, only to have her hopes shattered on the very first day.
The Residents Wanted Her Gone
The residents weren’t happy when they saw a tiny furball sticking around on their porch. Instead of helping, they wanted the puppy gone.
“What a sad first encounter with humans,” was my very first thought. She was almost on the verge of losing all faith in humanity. But, one kind-hearted woman acted timely and didn’t let that happen.
Claudia, who lived just across the street, immediately rushed over to help the dog. She even set up a tiny doggie house for her and made her as welcome as possible.
Then, she contacted Suzette Hall, the long-time rescuer and founder of Logan’s Legacy, based in Irvine, California.
“This little defenseless girl showed up on a porch two days ago. The people who lived there wanted her gone. Thank goodness Claudia Garay cared and was able to get her across the street where she could be safe,” Hall wrote on Facebook.
Upon arriving at the spot, Hall spent some time getting to know the pup.
She was justifiably reserved and shy due to her bad experiences, but as time passed, the dog eventually warmed up to her rescuer. In a matter of hours, she was on her way to a new life, riding in the back seat of a car.
Finally, A New Beginning And A Fresh Look
Hall and her team didn’t waste time. They provided a nice, safe environment for this doggo girl, later named Brussel Sprouts.
“We have named her Brussel Sprouts. Look how absolutely beautiful she is,” Hall wrote in an update post.
After only a few days, Brussel looked like a brand-new girl with a brand-new look!
She got a remarkable makeover that made her almost unrecognizable. Her long, matted coat was now replaced with fashionable soft fur that dazzled everyone.
Brussel truly looks like a fully transformed pup. Now, all she needs is a new beginning.
“Poor baby was so dehydrated after waiting there for days. But, that is all behind her. She is about to sprout to a new amazing beginning,” she added.
This loving girl is actively looking for a forever family – one that will love and care for her like she deserves. When the time comes, I truly hope that Brussel finds someone to show her what true love feels like!
