Heartbroken, Severely Injured Dog Can’t Get Over The Fact Her Owners Abandoned Her
The idea of a loving animal, full of hope, finally finding a forever home, only to have it taken away – it’s really hard to accept, isn’t it?
It feels like a mean trick from the universe, leaving them even more hurt than before. This is exactly what happened to Patience, a sweet dog from a shelter in New Jersey.
Just a few years ago, Patience was like any other excited shelter dog, wagging her tail and dreaming of the day she would leave the shelter for a loving home. That day finally arrived!
She got adopted, and for a little while, everything seemed great. But her happiness was short-lived when, less than a year later, her new family decided they didn’t want her anymore.
Just like that, Patience found herself back in the shelter, with only a kennel and a broken heart. Instead of holding onto hope for a better future, Patience seemed to give up.
She completely shut herself off from the world, curling up in the corner of her small kennel, turning her back to everyone, as if she wanted to disappear.
This poor dog, who had once known love and then lost it, was now lost in sadness. It was heartbreaking for her caregivers at the shelter to see her like this.
They tried everything to help her come out of her shell and show her that there was still kindness in the world, but Patience just wouldn’t respond. She had become a shadow of her former self, a dog who had lost all trust in people.
However, Patience’s sad story caught the attention of the caring volunteers from SNARR Northeast, a rescue group based in New York.
They watched a video of her sitting alone, turned away from everything, and realized they needed to step in. They couldn’t just watch this gentle spirit fade away.
Once they discovered the full story behind Patience’s sadness, the whole situation got even more heartbreaking. It wasn’t just her return to the shelter that had crushed her spirit.
Patience had been found on the streets of New Jersey, injured and alone, after being adopted into a loving family. Her past was unclear and painful, but her caregivers believed she might have been hit by a car.
Because of this unknown trauma, Patience suffered from a spinal injury and had lost her peripheral vision. She could only see what was right in front of her, and even that was limited.
But luckily, the wonderful people at SNARR Northeast believed in Patience. They looked past her injured body and her withdrawn attitude.
They knew she deserved another chance, a safe and peaceful place where she could relax and start to heal. So, they set out to find the perfect foster home for her.
And wouldn’t you know it, they found one! A spot where Patience could finally feel safe, loved, and understood. With the right foster care and lots of tender loving care (TLC), this sweet Pittie girl began to reveal her true self.
Beneath all that sadness was a fun-loving, quirky Pittie who cherishes every moment with her loving humans. She’s learning to get around despite her limited vision, and she does it with an inspiring spirit.
Now, Patience is preparing to start her neurological treatment, which we hope will help her regain some of her lost sight.
In the meantime, she’s enjoying all the happiness of being a dog in a cozy home, surrounded by people who finally get her and see the wonderful dog she really is. The best part? She will never have to go back to that cold, lonely kennel again!
