A Call for Help
In March 2023, the founder of a Los Angeles-based dog rescue received a desperate cry for help. A photo of an abandoned puppy, left in a cardboard box, tugged at her heartstrings. Little did she know, this was just the beginning.
The next morning brought a startling revelation: Four more puppies were discovered in the same box. Determined to save them, she immediately arranged for their transport to her rescue.
As they arrived, she embraced them with open arms, ensuring they felt welcome, safe, and cherished. The puppies, estimated to be around 7 to 8 weeks old, were in dire need of attention.
The rescue team sprang into action, providing the necessary medical care. These tiny souls were malnourished and frail, but with dedicated efforts, they began to show signs of improvement.
The Road to Recovery
With the help of the rescue’s vets, the puppies received timely medications and constant care. Everyone at the clinic showered them with affection and cuddles, essential for their recovery.
Chiarelli, the founder, noted, “With love, medicine, and trust, they improved so much. They started eating like crazy, gaining weight, and playing a lot.”
Each pup was given a name: Christian, Harlow, Daisy, Ollie, and Aurora. They quickly grew fond of snuggling and playing with toys, their spirits lifting day by day.
Within three weeks, these once-abandoned puppies were now healthy and full of life, ready to move to foster homes where they could continue their journey towards permanent families.
Finding Forever Homes
The most crucial step was finding these puppies their forever homes. All of Christian’s siblings quickly found loving families, but he continued to wait.
By the time Christian reached almost 5 months old, he was the longest resident at the rescue. Despite being an ideal companion, he faced the challenge of being a black dog, which often made him less desirable.
Chiarelli emphasized, “We love black dogs, and he is beautiful and deserving. He doesn’t deserve to not be chosen.”
In June 2023, Christian’s wait came to an end. He moved in with his forever family, who fell in love with him at first sight. His journey from abandonment to love was complete.
A Happy Ending
The story of these five puppies is a testament to the power of compassion and dedication. Each puppy found a loving family, ensuring they would never feel abandoned again.
Christian, Harlow, Daisy, Ollie, and Aurora now live fulfilling lives, surrounded by love and care, thanks to the efforts of the rescue team.
This heartwarming tale reminds us of the importance of giving every animal the chance to find their forever home and the happiness they deserve.

Amazing! But why was Christian waiting for so long? Is there a bias against black dogs?

Why do you think Christian had a harder time finding a home compared to his siblings?
