Mama Dog Found With Puppy In Cold Houston Warehouse Finally Finds Her Way To A Warm Lap
When Andrea Soliz wrapped up her shift one cold night, she spotted a movement near the warehouse doors. At first, she assumed it was just a stray dog seeking refuge from the cold.
But as she stepped closer, her heart skipped. There weren’t just two eyes watching her… There were four. A mama dog and her tiny puppy huddled together for warmth.
Both of them looked completely lost and terrified, and heartbreakingly, there was nothing they could do for themselves. The little one appeared fragile, shivering slightly, but otherwise seemed to be holding on.
Mama, however, was painfully thin and exhausted, her ribs sticking out. It was obvious she had poured every ounce of energy into keeping her baby safe, sacrificing her own comfort and well-being.
Andrea and her coworkers tried to approach, hoping to gain their trust, but the pair was too frightened to come near.
They had endured so much on the streets that trusting humans didn’t come easily, and every sudden movement or sound made them flinch.
Andrea didn’t give up. She made a small nest inside the warehouse with soft blankets and left out food and water.
She hoped this would be enough to keep the mother and baby safe and warm through the night.
The next morning, Andrea rushed back. She was relieved to find them curled up together, a little braver and less afraid.
Mama dog let Andrea approach and even allowed her to interact with the puppy. Andrea brought them home and gave them food, warmth, and a lot of love.
She named the mama dog Nixi. Slowly, Nixi began to relax, letting Andrea show her that not all humans were dangerous.
The puppy quickly found a forever home, but Nixi needed a bit more care. Her time on the streets had left her with health issues that required attention and gentle nurturing.
While helping Nixi heal, Andrea realized she couldn’t imagine letting her go. As she shared in a YouTube video:
“She put her little paw on my hand, and I was like, ‘I’m done. She’s mine.’”
Now, Nixi’s days are filled with belly rubs, beach trips, and plenty of love from Andrea. She’s goofy, affectionate, and soaks up every bit of attention as if she knows she finally belongs.
It’s hard to believe this is the same dog who once trembled in the cold at that warehouse.
Dogs have a way of blooming when given love. Nixi is living proof that patience, care, and a gentle touch can transform even the most scared soul into a confident, happy companion.
