Stella was a stray puppy adopted by a family who later subjected her to horrific abuse.

Stella wandered the streets as a stray puppy until a family adopted her. What appeared to be a second opportunity, however, turned into a disaster.

When a local rescuer got to the residence, Stella was emaciated, her little body covered in burns, tightly chained, and obviously suffering from physical abuse that no dog should ever endure. But Stella didn’t imagine that her life was about to get better.

Stella was immediately removed from the abusive environment, but her recovery would not be easy. She suffered severe skin and respiratory issues, and also profound physical and emotional trauma that will require extensive medical treatment. 

Many rejected her, fearing they couldn’t care for her due to her serious condition. But the rescuer found someone willing to help her during the most difficult stage of her journey.

However, Stella requires extensive medical treatment to cure her skin, respiratory issues and other injuries.

From the time Stella arrived in her new surroundings, everything improved. She kept acting like a puppy, softly biting hands and running after shadows.

Every day, her wounds heal. Her energy returns. She learns that love is real and that compassion exist, she is trusting once more. And even if there’s still a long way to go, Stella’s future seems brighter with each step.

Thanks to the kindness of our TagsforHope customers, Stella has the chance to develop, recover, and, maybe, ultimately discover the caring family she has always deserved because of you.
