Her name was Rella — short for Cinderella.
But she wasn’t born into a fairytale.
No glass slippers. No ball. No castle.
Just cold concrete, a rusted chain, and days that stretched into nights with no soft place to lay her head.
Rella was a cattle dog mix — smart, loyal, full of heart — but the world hadn’t been kind to her.
She watched other dogs get chosen. She wagged her tail anyway.
She dreamed, quietly. Constantly.
All she ever wanted was her “ever after.”
Not a prince. Just a porch to lie on.
Not a palace. Just someone to love her like she mattered.
Rella never chased mice or danced in gowns, but she knew how to rescue broken hearts.
She never rode in a pumpkin carriage, but she could run like the wind, ears flying like magic.
And maybe, just maybe…
There was a little enchantment in the way her eyes lit up when someone finally knelt down and whispered,
"You’re coming home."
Because the truth is, not all Cinderellas wear ballgowns.
Some wear fur, carry scars, and walk on four tired feet.
And when they find their forever,
That is the most beautiful fairytale of all.
Come be Rella's fairytale home today that she has longed for!
