Stray canines live in hope that someone will finally smile at them, lend a helping hand, and take them to a safe place.
It saddens me to know that many people ignore these homeless pups as if they were invisible and unworthy of help and love.
Despite the long time they spend waiting, these stray canines never lose hope of being rescued. They keep waiting for kind humans who will show them the compassion they’ve been deprived of for so long.
Nico is one of these stray dogs who knows how it feels to spend his days out in the cold, hoping for the help he desperately needs. Hungry and alone, he gazed into the distance with a sad expression on his beautiful face.
A Good Human The Pup Was Waiting For
Fortunately, Donna Lochmann, an experienced rescuer at Stray Rescue of St. Louis in Missouri, came to his rescue. She felt heartbroken the moment she saw Nico sitting outside a family home, his sorrowful eyes fixed on the road. He was so skinny that his ribs were visible.
Nico’s face lit up as soon as Lochmann greeted him. He instantly started wagging his little tail and walking toward her with his head bent, as if he knew she was there to help him. Lochmann noticed that his back paw was injured. She cuddled the adorable dog, and he melted in her arms. As she stroked him, he laid his head on her leg, feeling relieved that someone was finally showing him kindness and love.
The pooch looked at Lochmann with soulful eyes filled with gratitude. She knew she didn’t need to put a leash on him. The pup, later named Nico New Beginnings, couldn’t wait to go with her and leave his sad street life behind. Lochmann carried him to her Jeep, and Nico’s tail never stopped wagging. He snuggled with her as he lay in the passenger seat, soaking up his rescuer’s love and feeling safe at last. He was ready for his freedom ride.
Nico Gets The Love He Lacked All Along
As soon as Nico arrived at the shelter in St. Louis, he stole the hearts of all the shelter staff. “He’s made all of us melt with those eyes that look into your soul,” the staff wrote on Facebook.
shelter friends gave him lots of love and cuddles. Nico was glad to be surrounded by loving humans. The lovely pooch felt comfortable and knew they would help him get better. As soon as Nico is medically cleared, he will be ready to go to a foster home.
We look forward to seeing him gain weight and turn into a happy dog who enjoys life to the fullest. We have no doubt that Nico will soon steal the heart of his forever family, who will love him infinitely. The delightful Missouri boy deserves all the happiness in the world.
