Nothing breaks my heart like seeing a dog beloved for so many years lose a home. It’s heartbreaking, yet sadly, it happens far more often than we can imagine.

Suzette Hall, a California rescuer, has witnessed many abandonment cases in her career, and one thing is certain: it never gets easier. If anything, it only becomes harder to watch all of these four-legged furballs struggle to survive on their own after once having everything.

Recently, Hall’s heart broke again when she received a call about loud crying from an abandoned home. What she saw at the scene was beyond words…

“Left Behind Like Garbage”

The neighbors stated that the cries and loud whimpering sounds were coming from an abandoned home for about a week, ever since a family had moved out.

Suspecting that someone was left behind, they contacted Hall, the founder of Sadly, their doubts were confirmed. After moving to another location, the family left behind their dog.

To make things worse, the pup was in terrible shape.

She was so matted that she couldn’t even walk properly. The amount of pain she was in was unimaginable.

 

Fortunately, the second she saw Hall approaching, her eyes lit up. She was just so happy to be found.

“The second she saw me, this sweet baby lit up. Tail wagging, eyes begging for love. Despite everything, she still had hope,” Hall added.

Hall and her fellow rescuers didn’t waste time. They jointly helped the dog, later named Eyelit, and transported her to a local pet hospital.

This was the first day of her new life chapter, and things already felt better. But, as it turned out, the best was yet to come!

The Best Is Yet To Come

Thanks to her caregivers, Eyelit’s very next day was a blast! She received a nice, soothing bath, followed by an extensive grooming session
