This Senior Dog Was Struggling to Live on the Street Until Kind People Rescued Her. Now She’s Looking for a Forever Home! (VIDEO)

If you have ever had the pleasure of caring for an elderly dog, you know how heartbreaking it can be to watch them struggle with tasks like walking or eating that they used to do with such gusto. When dogs age, it is more important than ever that they have a doting guardian to care for them and help them lead the best life possible. Knowing this, when Hope for Paws got a call about a homeless senior dog who had taken up residence in a wooded area near a highway, they immediately snapped into action.

This sweet pup had managed to fend for herself for what we can only imagine was years. When Lisa and Eldad finally found the dog curled up, sleeping in a bush, it was abundantly clear that this hard life had taken a serious toll on this senior lady. After managing to carefully maneuver a rescue leash around the sleeping dog’s foot, Eldad was able to pull her out of the thicket. Understandably, the pooch was very startled by this and instantly started to bark and snap.

In the struggle, the dog nipped Lisa’s arm, but once they managed to settle her down, it was apparent she had just been trying to defend herself and she was actually very sweet and docile in nature. Naming the pup Dorothy, the rescue team set her down a road to her new, pampered life.

After some behavioral rehabilitation training, Dorothy is ready for a forever home! To learn more about adopting this loving girl, visit the Frosted Faces website.
