If you’re the kind of person who’s willing to adopt and nurture an abandoned animal, you truly have a heart of gold. But what about someone who offers a haven to more than 100 animals? You better believe those people exist!
Meet the Websters from Ohio—Rachel, Tyler, and their three kids. They’ve been fostering dogs for quite some time and have opened their doors to 140 pups to date.
Not everyone mirrors the kindness of the Websters, unfortunately. Take the tale of the 141st dog they welcomed into their lives; her backstory speaks volumes about the cruelty some animals face.
From Sorrow to Joy
Meet Carly, a Golden Retriever who endured severe abuse at a puppy mill, exploited for breeding. She was shuffled from one unscrupulous breeder to another until they sought to offload her once more.
But then, a compassionate soul intervened. She connected Carly with someone willing to offer her a loving home.
Just when everyone thought Carly’s ordeal was over, heartache struck—the family that took her in decided to return Carly to a shelter because she resisted being crated.
Luckily, this kind-hearted person advocated for Carly once more, ensuring she ended up at a rescue center. There, the Websters found her and knew they had to act fast.
A Fresh Start
Becoming the 141st dog under the Webster family’s care, Carly was far from easy-going due to her troubled past.
Suffering from serious ear infections, she required weeks of medication. Markings on her muzzle hinted at past punishments that silenced her bark. The vet couldn’t even guess her age.
Yet the Websters were unwavering in their dedication, instantly forming a tight-knit bond with Carly, including their five-year-old daughter, Kennedy, who became especially attached.
Kennedy and Carly were inseparable—playing, snuggling, and even sleeping next to each other. It was love at first sight for the two.
Inspired by Kennedy’s profound connection, the Webster family made a momentous decision to welcome Carly permanently into their lives.
Finally, this once-abused Golden Retriever became a cherished member of a family who truly valued her.
When Love Finds You
From a life of exploitation and hardship, Carly transformed into a beloved Golden Retriever, finally experiencing the joys she deserved.
The Websters, overflowing with happiness, decided to share Carly’s heartwarming story with the world.
“Our puppy mill foster Carly made it impossible for us not to adopt her when she chose our daughter as her human. Sometimes they adopt us.” they shared in a touching video caption.
Once again, the tale serves as a lovely reminder that genuine love is powerful enough to triumph over turmoil.
All it takes is a heart brimming with love.
