HAPPY ENDINGS!

At Hope Dog Rescue, we work with stray animals. Most times, their stories are devastatingly sad. They have been abused, starved and neglected. They are often physically and emotionally traumatized, starved for food and love.

Which is why, it gives us so much pleasure to share a story with a happy ending!

Goldilocks enjoying her new perfect life 

Phoebe’s previous home used to be a golf course. She lived there with two other strays. Their lives of playing and rolling around outdoors unfortunately came to an end when some golf players complained about their presence. Even though they didn’t bite, chase or do anything to be a nuisance, their fates were sealed. They were banished to live out their days in small, filthy cages.


Phoebe - who has found her true love and forever home <3 

We finally rescued them from this awful existence. Like her other two canine companions, Phoebe was incredibly well behaved and good-natured. However, unlike them, she was less confident and quite terrified of being taken to the vet, of the new smells and sights. But through all these scary changes, she remained her sweet, affectionate self.


Goldilocks was rescued from a factory. Tests at the vet showed she had both heartworm and a low red blood count. Her long, furry coat was soaked in pee and dirt, and she was clearly traumatized and suffering from neglect. However, this sweet-natured dog held up through all the tests and check-ups, allowing us to hug and cuddle her. How incredible are animals and how amazing is their capacity to trust us though so much unimaginable trauma!

Goldilocks, living it up!

Like two lost souls, Phoebe and Goldilocks found each other at the rescue and became fast friends. We knew it would be heart breaking to separate them if they got adopted individually.


But after a lifetime of hardship, it was finally their turn for a stroke of luck. At an adoption drive, Pooja & Ankit came with the intention of adopting one dog. They originally picked Phoebe but because she was so attached to Goldilocks, they agreed to take them both!


Today, Phoebe and Goldilocks live happily with their humans, in a home that’s filled with tummy rubs, treats, comfy beds and walks…and of course, the companionship of each other!
