Adopting a puppy is always a very good thing. You can’t even imagine how happy a dog will feel when he enters a warm house after spending countless nights on the cold streets. A dog felt the same way. A woman looking for a furry companion knew she had to get him as soon as she heard a dog was struggling to survive on the streets.

Unfortunately, Stella was one of those dogs that wasn’t lucky enough to have a family to take care of her. So he had to do it himself. In addition to finding food scraps, this poor pup had to find a shelter to keep him safe. But sleeping in a garbage bag wasn’t safe…
Despite his misfortune, this adorable dog never lost hope and knew in his heart that someone would come to save him. Stray dog lying in a garbage bag
And he was right! Heather Martin, a wonderful woman, was looking for a furry member to add to her family.
When a friend told him about Stella, he knew he had to meet her.
“A co-worker shared with me about Pooches Out of Puerto Rico, so my husband and I looked into them. We fell in love [with Stella] instantly,” said Heather.
A New Chapter
As soon as the two met, they clicked instantly. Heather described Stella as a “loving, sweet, playful, and curious super chewer who loves to be in the sun” and we are sure that Stella had some sweet barks directed at Heather, too.
Deciding to adopt Stella, Heather took her to the vet for a needed and thorough checkup.
Stella was left at a dump and somehow survived sleeping on garbage bags and eating whatever she could find. She had extreme mange, roundworms, hookworms and scabies. She only weighed 9 pounds when they rescued her.
Being the brave girl she is, Stella recovered in no time and was very excited about her new life.
A Brand-New Pup
Being surrounded by so much love and affection, Stella looked like a completely different pup.
She was super healthy and she loved to play. That is why Heather decided she needed a furry buddy to keep up with her. She went to the local rescue and got Stella a doggo sibling called Lulu.
Stella and Lulu became the best of friends, filling the house with nothing but irresistible puppy joy.
Stella has been a ray of sunshine. [She] knows when we need love and will cuddle us. She wants nothing but love and truly is perfect.
Final Word
Luckily, Stella was fortunate enough to meet somebody as amazing as Heather to take her from the streets and into a loving home.
But, not every dog has this fate. A scary number of dogs are still forced to live on the streets and fight for scraps in order to survive. Any form of help, no matter how seemingly small, can create a significant impact in their lives.
Together, let’s extend a helping paw to our local rescues, shelters, and these furry souls and make a difference in their world.
