Elba and her husband had no intention of adopting a dog. But fate decided otherwise… One morning in 2018, the couple discovered a ball of hair on their doorstep. Rejected by its owner, the animal was looking for a loving family.
Filled with happiness by their pussy, Autumn, Elba and her husband had no plans to expand their small family. And yet… 4 years ago, while the couple were talking in front of their house, a puppy (a female) appeared from the other side of the street and approached with enthusiasm. ” She seemed happy to see me, like she knew me “, told Elba to our colleagues from DogHeirs.
The energetic and friendly dog initially tried to sympathize with the feline. However, the creature with the long whiskers pushed her away. The host of the place, in the grip of tenderness, naturally took her in his arms.
Her husband, reluctant to keep the young canine, finally agreed to feed him outside the home. Elba, forced to go to her place of work, contacted her a few hours later to hear from her. The latter was still waiting on the porch.

“I didn’t want to let the puppy go”
Once back, Elba printed and posted posters around the neighborhood, hoping to find its owners. Subsequently, she took her adorable protege to the veterinarian, who detected an identification chip under her skin.
Hope, aged 10 weeks at the time of the events, had been adopted 2 weeks earlier. The little female, her mother and the other members of her litter had been rescued from illegal breeding and then placed in a shelter.

Glad to have done a good deed, Elba quickly became disillusioned. When the health professional contacted the adopter of the animal, he hung up on him. Because of this unexpected behavior, the practitioner explained the steps to follow to the Good Samaritan. Either she brought back Hope at the shelter, or she kept her at home for 10 days, in case her family reconsidered their decision.
The animal lover opted for 2n/a choice. As the days go by, Elba has forged a powerful bond with the little furball. Sadness invaded her when she thought of her possible departure. ” The next 10 days were excruciating. I didn’t want to let the puppy go “, she confided to our colleagues.

A new family member
As soon as the time had elapsed, the veterinarian announced to Elba that the master of Hope did not show up. That meant she could adopt him! For her, this was wonderful news.
Today, Hope is called Ellie and swim in happiness. She gets along wonderfully with all members of the household, even cats!
” She became my best friend “, concluded the one who gave him a chance.
