For the first time in her life, 10-year-old Missy will get to spend spend National Mutt Day indoors.
As a new PETA video reveals, this special senior dog was once left in a makeshift outdoor pen so cluttered with junk, trash and rotting food that she could hardly see out of it.
Visiting PETA fieldworkers routinely brought her straw and made sure she had shelter, food, fresh water and affection.
For years, her owner refused to bring her indoors or let PETA rescue her. However, Missy was diagnosed with heartworm disease on a recent visit. That convinced the woman to allow PETA to get veterinary care for Missy and find her a new home.
Climbing over the gate that hadn’t been opened in years, they were met by a gleeful Missy, who received her first bath in 10 years at the PETA shelter, where she also started treatment for heartworm disease.
Lonely no more, thanks to toys, treats and lots of doting attention, Missy took her first road trip to Florida, where she finally gets to live indoors with her new forever family.
“Adopting a rescue dog is just the only way to go,” says adoptive guardian Terri David. “Missy’s life here will [include] a long walk in the morning. We hope we can take her to the beach. [S]he’ll have a lot of dog friends and just lots of love.”
Don,t let her go back!
OMGOSH THIS IS THE WORST CASE OF CRUELTY…WHY HAVE A DOG IF YOU ARE GOING TO ABUSE THEM. THIS BITCH SHOULD BE CHARGED. AS FOR THE SWEETEST DOG EVER…SHE CERTAINLY ENJOYED LIFE AT THE PETA CENTER…THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR LOVE AND DEDICATION TO THESE BEAUTIFUL INNOCENT CREATIONS BY GOD. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND THE FAMILIES WHO ADOPT DON’T SHOP…
Thank you for all you do, PETA!
So glad she’s free I’ll never understand why people get dogs just to ignore them. She must have been so lonely
Very special to watch.
Missy’s new family, I love you!
Sunlight/grounding/exercise is needed, but also warm inside in bad weather. Glad they are helping the dog. I hope the food is healthy. God bless.
Thank you for helping Missy. So happy she has a home, is loved. Love you Missy.
There is ABSOLUTELY NO reason, excuse to do this to a dog or any animal. WHAT is the purpose? Is this a sick woman’s who has no control over her life to control something that is helpless??!.. she is a coward and a heartless human being (I use that term loosely). Just how she is living in squalor lends credence to the sickness. I would have taken the dog from the get go. This woman should be punished and never allowed to have any living creature in her possession. I’m so happy that this sweet baby found a loving place to be. There is another “special” place- Trust me for the woman who did this to that sweet dog
So happy for her! Thank you on her behalf.💋👍🤔
So happy for Missy!!! God bless Missy and her beautiful new family!!!
Thank you to all you kind people for rescuing and helping Missy and for giving her a lovely new home.
I would have just taken that dog, that owner should be (I can’t say what I really want to say on here). Selfish and a piece of sh***t!
Enjoy your last years sweet dog!
Thank goodness, PETA was finally able to get Missy out of that trap. I am sorry for the woman who held onto her for so long for whatever reason, but I know that Missy now has a real life. She acts like a little puppy. What joy she exhibits! I hope her new parents will let her be herself and will let her experience all the wonderment of being out of that tiny space. The look on her face during the road trip is indication that she is absorbing the environment with great enthusiasm. A happy story. Wish all animals could have happy stories.
Beautifully said- but I would not feel sorry the woman who held this sweet baby captive. Sick individuals belong in sick facilities,
Control. The owners did not want her they wanted control, what cowards!
now that was a precious moment.
Namaste🐦

Vous êtes des personnes merveilleuses, aussi bien les membres de l’association qui a sauvé Missy que la famille adoptante. Ma fille a également adopté une chienne qui a eu une vie comme Missy pendant 2 ans. Je lui garde lorsqu’elle doit s’absenter pour son travail. Elle fait notre bonheur! et je pense que nous faisons le sien
