I brought the pup home with me to get some photos of her condition and introduce her to Bryce. She bounded energetically around the back yard and even played with Herbie. She followed us everywhere, which is how she earned the nickname 'Shadow'.
She's now at Carolyn's, where she will be rehabbed, vaccinated, and fixed before going off to a loving forever home. The whole thing makes me sick to my stomach. People just plain suck. And for every puppy that gets saved, there are hundreds more that don't get so lucky. The most incredible thing about it all is that this poor pup, who has never known anything but cruelty, just keeps on forgiving and loving. It's enough to make you bawl.
They shaved Jake!
I swear to god she could fly with those ears.
ReplyDeleteHerbie looks like she's doing a great job at showing the pup the ropes:)
ReplyDeleteoooooh! Poor girl! She has such a cute little face... I am sure she will find a home in no time.
ReplyDeleteI just don't get it, crying right now. She is so sweet and still curious. I can see the Boston and that just makes it all the more difficult. I am so glad somebody found her. Give her big loves from me and Fred. She's gonna make it.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap Herbie's face in that picture of them looking up at Bryce "Can I keep her? Huh? Huh? Can I??!!" Priceless XD
ReplyDeletePoor baby :C She's adorable though.
What a sweet looking little pup. That is so sad what people have done to her. Glad she's in good hands now.
ReplyDeleteThis pup is why I will always have more faith in animals than in people.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I want to rub her floppy puppy ears. Please keep us updated about her, and if possible, progress pics?
What a sweetheart, I'm sure she will find a home soon. Poor little girl, people really do suck. Great pics, as always. I especially like the one of her and Herbie trotting side by side, where Herbie is looking at her. Too sweet.
ReplyDeleteso glad she gets a chance. what a personality and a heart.
ReplyDeletebe sure Herbie gets play dates with her... you can tell that she already thinks Shadow is hers :)
She is so precious!!!!! Her story breaks my heart. I have done a lot of volunteering in the rescue shelters in my area- but I never get used to it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for these beautiful pictures of that precious baby.
Poor puppy. I can't fathom how people can treat animals that way, especially puppies. Those big, trusting brown eyes? How can you hurt them?
ReplyDeleteSo not fair that sweet, gentle loving dogs are abused and neglected by such horrible humans! Poor pretty girl. She has such a reserved and cautious look in her eyes, but behind the veil is willingness to give humans another chance. Gotta love her.
ReplyDeleteToo bad she's so far away from me, or I would be tempted to adopt her and smother her with love, cuddles and lots of playtime and good food.
Wonderful photos. Thanks for sharing her story.

Bless her little heart... Herbie is definitely sending vulcan mind meld new friend hints ;)
ReplyDeleteI am constantly astounded by the depth of people's cruelty and indifference to animals - I see so many come in with chains embedded in their necks, victims of cruelty and neglect, and yet they forgive and learn to trust and love. I hope this little one finds the perfect home quickly.
ReplyDeleteShadow is just so sweet. It breaks my heart every time I hear of animals being mistreated by idiot people, yet once they land on their paws in a happy environment, they quickly forgive and let their guard down, ready to become a part of the pack again.
ReplyDeleteBless Shadows little cotton socks.
...are you sure Herbie wouldn´t love having a little sister?
I think Herbie would love it for the first day, then be jealous.
