Save the Leftovers: Tossed Out Noel
Trigger Warning: This post is upsetting. We do not have any information on what happened after the Good Samaritan saved Noel from the children. Her focus was to get the dog to safety and our focus is to help Noel recover and heal. If you don’t read on, please know that Noel is now safe and loved in a PPR foster home.
Noel, a sweet 12 lb Spaniel/Terrier mix, is just 9-10 months old, but her life almost ended too soon. A group of kids had placed her in a bag, ready to toss her into a canal. Thankfully, a Good Samaritan witnessed the scene and immediately intervened, rescuing Noel from certain death. Poodle and Pooch Rescue was called to step in and help.
When Noel arrived at our vet, she was so scared, yet still so gentle and sweet. After a full exam, we found she was suffering from hookworms, whipworms, skin issues, and had 3 broken teeth. Despite everything, she was so loving. Over the next few days, she received her vaccines, a medicated bath, had a dental, and was spayed. The vet staff gave her extra TLC to help her feel safe and loved.
Just Friday, Noel went to her foster home, where she was incredibly nervous and silent for hours. She stayed close to her foster mom, carefully sniffing her new environment. Her foster mom describes her as super sweet, but also very timid—so clearly longing for love and affection. It's heartbreaking to think of how much fear Noel must have felt before finding her safe haven. Every time her foster mom moves or leaves the room, Noel cries, probably unsure if she’ll be abandoned again. But with time and love, we know Noel will realize she’s finally found a place where she’s wanted and cherished.
We need your help to continue saving dogs like Noel. Noel’s story is just one of our many heartbreaking cases. PPR is often the last hope for these neglected, abused, and discarded animals, and we can’t do this without YOU.
