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 was chained outside without food or water by her owner, who used her for breeding and profit. Neighbors had to secretly provide her with essentials.
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.
Members of The Happy Doggo rescue team swiftly arrived at the scene to assist Isabella, showcasing unwavering dedication in their efforts to offer her aid.
They saw how short her lead was, and it broke their hearts. She could hardly move around and was in pain because of it.
The neighbors informed the rescuers that Isabella had spent her entire life confined to that chain, which they found to be unacceptable.
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.
Happy Doggo’s team wanted to bring Isabella with them, but needed owner’s consent. They worked with authorities and other rescue organizations for support.
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 agreed to let her go. Rescuers took her to a foster home for recovery. Under their care, she underwent an amazing transformation, showing her social nature 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! Click the video below to experience Isabella’s journey. Thank you, Happy Doggo, for the wonderful work you do!
