One morning, a shelter worker arrived at her job, surprised to find a fluffy white puppy waiting at the door. The little guy was crying loudly, hoping for someone to notice him. She immediately scooped him up and saw a small wound on his back. Thinking this was why he was crying, she took him inside to introduce him to his new furry friends, who would soon make his life much better. When she placed him in a kennel, the puppy quickly ran to a corner, trying to hide. Fortunately, he was now in good hands. The worker did everything she could to help this sweet puppy feel safe and comfortable.

Her efforts paid off when she offered him some milk, which he eagerly drank, being just two months old. The milk put him into a cute, sleepy state, allowing her to clean and treat his wound. She named him Ronaldo and made sure to spend quality time with him every day—playing, having fun, and feeding him.

During his first week at the shelter, Ronaldo mostly slept and ate. As he grew older, he became more energetic, running around and playing with everyone. His joyful spirit caught the eye of a kind person who decided to give him a loving home.

A man couldn't afford to pay for the surgery his dog desperately needed, so he decided to improvise and do it himself. In a shocking case of animal cruelty, the man admitted to applying tooth-numbing gel to his dog's leg and then amputating it.

Excited about his new life, Ronaldo packed up his toys and eagerly waited to meet his new family. They loved playing with adorable puppies like him and filled his days with fun adventures and playful activities. While Ronaldo enjoyed spending time with his new family, he also loved his toys.

Whenever his family looked for him, they often found him in his cozy bed, playing with his toys until he got so tired that he fell asleep. It was so sweet to see. Ronaldo thankfully got his happily ever after, but this was not a guarantee. If you have an injured pet you can no longer care for, contact your veterinarian and ask for advice or go to your local shelter. NEVER abandon your pet, even if it’s outside a shelter.
