She sat silently in a public park, her swollen body aching and her heart clearly broken. Her name is Hera.
Her owner, a breeder, had taken away her newborn puppies—likely to sell them—and abandoned her without a second thought.
Her teats were painfully engorged, yet she made no sound, even when children in the park accidentally hurt her while playing nearby.
Hera waited, still hoping her owner would return.
We couldn’t ignore her suffering. She was rushed to a veterinary clinic for a full checkup. Physically, Hera was fine.
But emotionally, she was shattered. No mother is ever ready to be separated from her young, especially not like this.
We named her Hera and made a promise: we would do everything we could to help her feel safe again.
As days passed, Hera started to change. Her sadness didn’t disappear overnight, but her spirit slowly began to lift.
Walks became moments of joy, and each day, she grew more relaxed.
One month later, something beautiful happened. Hera was reunited with the person who had rescued her.
She lit up instantly. Her tail wagged, her eyes softened, and she leaned in with gratitude. That day, she was officially adopted.
Now, Hera is never alone. She follows her new guardian everywhere, finding comfort in their presence.
She’s friendly, affectionate, and bonds easily with people and other animals. Her past still lingers in quiet ways, but love has given her a second chance.
Hera once waited in pain, abandoned and forgotten. Today, she’s living the life every dog deserves—safe, loved, and finally home.
