Some of these dog abandonment stories are just unfathomable. Sure, it almost makes sense to come across a story of a dog who has faced severe neglect, tied to a pole and in need of help. It even makes sense that that dog is not socialized well and needs rehabilitation. But when you come across these stories of puppers who pretty much leap into the arms of their chosen family and it all works out, you really have to wonder what in the heck is going on in the world.

Like how can an abandoned doggo who has felt the cold shoulder of an owner who refused to love and care for them, still have hope and happiness in their heart? And at that, enough of those qualities that would cause them to blindly leap into the lives of people they have never met? Well, whatever it is that makes them that way, we can only say that we are happy they are confident enough to be like that, and that much like this dog in this story it is a blessing from the doggo gods above that these canine cuties find their furever home.

    When my partner pulled into our driveway on March 2nd a puppy ran right under his car as he parked. We got ahold of him and I thought he belonged to a neighbor... I was wrong lol.

    He had an old, frayed collar on him with no tags and also was not microchipped. We've had him posted all over Facebook, NextDoor, PetFinder, etc. Along with fliers out to no avail. Our

    No one ever came forward, and he has fully taken up with our other 4 dogs. It looks like we're up to 5 now! He's an absolute baby, and has come so far in training in just a couple weeks!

  • Time after time, these dogs that get rescued have the sweetest demeanor, the best behavior and simply no good reason for them to be abandoned. And yet, they are, with no owner or interest in sight. It truly boggles the mind as to how the heck this keeps on happening. One can only hope that something will change in the future and more of these doggos will get to stay with their loving families, well, so long as their families actually love them.

    Technically our other dogs are mine, as I had them prior to my partner and I living together, and I cover 100% of their food/vet bills. My partner has decided the new guy (now named Hamilton) will be his! He's also

  • Oh what a sweet creature! It is unreal that such a sweet, loving and young dog would find themselves in such a position to be abandoned. But at least this pupper is brave enough to go after what he wants and to not let a fear of hoomans stop him. Which after being abandoned by hoomans would only make sense. Which once again makes us wonder how in the heck such a dog ends up alone without a family?
