Being a rescuer is no easy job. Most days, they face the challenge of helping injured or frightened dogs, many of whom have been mistreated.
It’s a role that takes a toll not only mentally but physically, as rescuing animals can be demanding work.
However, every so often, rescuers encounter a different kind of situation—a friendly dog who actively seeks help.
In this story, we follow one such encounter, where rescuers met a sweet stray pup who was more than ready to accept a helping hand.
A Friendly Face in the Bushes
The compassionate team at Howl Of A Dog received a call about a stray dog living in the bushes near a roadside parking lot. Close by, they quickly responded, initially expecting the dog might be shy or try to run.
To their surprise, when the dog spotted them, she eagerly trotted over, greeting them with gentle hugs.
The rescuers speculated that she had chosen this location hoping for scraps from kind strangers or perhaps, heartbreakingly, because she’d been abandoned there.
After they offered her a meal, it was clear she hadn’t eaten properly in some time—she devoured the food with gratitude.
Despite her rough circumstances, she remained incredibly friendly, showing the team just how ready she was for a new chance.
The rescuers gently placed her in a kennel and brought her back to the shelter.
Mira’s Positive Spirit
Once at the shelter, the rescuers checked for a microchip, but found none, suggesting she had no previous owner.
They decided to name her Mira, a fitting name for such a joyful soul.
After settling in, Mira was taken to the vet for a thorough check-up, which showed she was healthy apart from a minor cold and being a little underweight—a simple issue they could address with care.
As Mira adjusted to life at the shelter, her positive energy became contagious.
She loved to play with the other dogs, and they, in turn, adored her playful spirit.
Exploring her new environment fascinated her, but she was happiest when with her human friends, clearly grateful for the kindness they’d shown her.
After a few days, Mira received all of her necessary vaccinations, and her rescuers prepared her to join the adoption list.
While it’s uncertain if she has found her forever home yet, it’s only a matter of time before someone special recognizes how remarkable Mira is.
Mira’s resilience and boundless affection remind us all of the love dogs can bring into our lives, especially when given a second chance.
