There are various reasons why people choose to abandon a pet. Often, those who adopt a dog underestimate the responsibilities that come with this commitment. Consequently, owners may decide to dispose of these animals due to a lack of space, time, or financial means to provide them with a dignified life. Some particularly irresponsible and cruel owners choose to leave their animals to their own devices.

In case it needs to be emphasized, there is a viable alternative to this act of gratuitous cruelty: entrusting one’s pet to the care of a shelter can spare it from endless suffering. The owners of Fenix – the puppy at the center of this story – abandoned him at the doorstep of a shelter. They left their beloved companion at the entrance of an organization for homeless animals and walked away, choosing to remain anonymous. Although their act allowed Fenix to be rescued immediately, these individuals did not prove to be exemplary owners at all.

Just by looking at the pictures of this poor puppy, one can observe the severe neglect he had endured. When the shelter volunteers found him at their doorstep, they were struck by his extremely disheveled and dirty fur, as well as his undernourished state. It was evident that his previous owners had not taken care of him at all. Yet, displaying extraordinary strength, Fenix decided to trust these new people, hopeful for the love they showed him from the very first moment.

Thanks to the extraordinary determination of the puppy and the care provided by his rescuers, Fenix underwent a literal rebirth in just a few weeks. His physical recovery went hand in hand with his psychological healing. As his health improved, his temperament underwent a radical transformation. Now, the unfortunate puppy can enjoy a worry-free life filled with happiness in his new, loving family!
