Neglected Dog Was Never Touched In Her Life. Watch Her Reaction When She’s Held For The First Time!
Little Harleigh, who appears to be a Chihuahua mix, was found cowering in the corner of her cage, where she had spent over 3 years in a puppy mill operation used for breeding. This sweet little floppy-eared girl had never experienced the loving touch of humans.
Puppy mills are nothing but prisons for these poor animals who have never learned to trust people. They have been so traumatized by years of imprisonment and lack of socialization. When Harleigh is is finally rescued, her fear is palpable, as she is approached in a loving way by a kind volunteer.
Tail between her legs, she at first recoils from his gentle approach. When he is able to hold her, the little dog’s mistrust is still visible, as she digs her claws into the volunteer’s arm.
Her sheer terror is heartbreaking, but after only an hour of kindness and tactile comfort, we see that there is hope for Harleigh. There are moments when she relaxes into the man’s arms that brought tears to my eyes. Other little dogs congregate around her.
She will need constant love and assurance in order to help her heal from her early years of isolation and lack of loving care. The only way for Harleigh, and other dogs who have experienced the horrors of a puppy mill, to make it is to be adopted by a loving and patient family.
I hope this video encourages people to rescue abandoned animals who so badly need our love.
