Callie was shot in the head and left to die in the woods in Arkansas by what we presume was her first owner. Fortunately, someone found her and rushed her to the emergency vet.

In an empty parking lot in Austin, Texas, a dog named Bluebelle waited patiently for someone to notice her. The senior pittie had nothing but her dog bed to separate her from the hot pavement.

When Valentine set foot inside her first real home a year ago, the nervous dog didn’t know what to do. The dalmatian/pit bull mix had spent her young life giving birth to puppies in a hoarding situation. She had no idea what comfort or safety could mean for her.
