Sweetie 🩷 is the definition of resilience and love.

At just approximately 18 months old and 35 pounds, this beautiful medium-sized girl has already survived more heartbreak than any dog should ever have to endure. She was found dumped on the side of a rural road, pacing every time a car passed by, desperately hoping someone would stop for her. Her teats were painfully engorged and still producing milk… but her puppies were nowhere to be found. A Good Samaritan searched the wooded area hoping to find them, but they were never located.

Despite everything she’s been through, Sweetie remains one of the gentlest, sweetest dogs imaginable.

Since entering foster care, she has absolutely blossomed. She is now healthy, heartworm negative, gaining weight beautifully, and learning what it means to finally feel safe and loved.

After such a heartbreaking start, we are determined to find Sweetie the happy ending she deserves. 🩷
