Some truly heartbreaking stories end up having the most beautiful endings.
When Mama Storm, a deaf dog, and her little baby, little Puddles, were first found near a dangerous stream, hope was the last thing they knew. Cruelly abandoned by someone and left to fend for themselves, they received no help.
All they had in life was each other. The mother was his eyes and he was her ears. Distressed, traumatized and insecure, these two puppies were a blatant example of human neglect.
What Storm and Puddles didn’t know at the time was that their destiny was about to take an unexpected turn!
A heartbreaking vision
Prue, the long-time rescuer and big-hearted animal lover of Mission Pawsiblewas shocked when she first saw Storm and Puddles. She was absolutely devastated to see dogs left in such inhumane conditions.
“It’s really amazing how I can keep coming across abandoned animals in the most confusing places.” Prue wrote on Instagram.
Along with a group of volunteers, she immediately launched a rescue mission to save the dogs from a dangerous river bank.
The puddles, only a few months old, were extremely anxious and suspicious of strangersHe growled and barked the whole time, refusing to be picked up. Luckily he was “frozen” in a small corner and wouldn’t move, which made his rescue pretty easy.
Mama Storm, on the other hand, had no reaction. She was facing the river the entire time, staring at the stream without reacting to the people behind her. She was completely heartbroken.
She didn’t mind being petted or hugged by the rescuers. It was as if she somehow knew that from now on, everything would be okay.
Prue and her team put the dogs in a crate and loaded them into a car. The next stop was her home, where she had already taken in dozens of other dogs.
During the first few days, Storm and Puddles had a hard time adjusting to the new environment. With their ongoing problems, Prue knew this little family would need a suitable foster home and full-time care.
And then the most incredible thing happened!
Towards a new beginning
Tara, a Florida rescue, heard about Storm and Puddles and immediately agreed to take them into her home. Her little girl, Raven, was so excited to have new friends in her life – and the wonderful journey began!
During these months of placement, Tara and Raven helped the dogs come out of their shellsWithin weeks, they had become brand new dogs who loved their new surroundings and having a spacious yard to play in.
Then the incredible news arrived!
Mama Storm was adopted into a wonderful family who gave her lots of love. She has cat siblings and loves being the princess of the family!
“She found an incredible home where she is now the little princess,” Prue said Cuddly friends.
Her baby, Puddles, has tried several times to find a permanent home, but to no avail. He has been in foster care since he was a puppy and is now a grown baby!
“Puddles is a huge cuddler. Silly, clumsy and so adorable. Being partially blind, he needs time to trust you (like all blind dogs). But once he knows your voice, your smell and your touch, he will be your couch cuddler for life,” MP wrote on Instagram.
Eventually, Puddles found peace next to Tara and Raven in their Florida home, which accepted him as a new member of the family. Today, he enjoys car rides, endless playtime, and exciting adventures carefully planned by his human sister.
After all the storms and puddles in their lives, these two lovers are finally on the right track – and they’ll never look back!
