“She is the sweetest dog with beautiful, soulful eyes.”
The salmon-pink doghouse was difficult to miss, even though it was partially hidden in a drainage ditch at the side of the road.
The wooden building was situated in a secluded spot, surrounded by farmland in California. An anxious brindle dog was snuggled inside waiting for a passing car while her leash was still attached.
Luckily, a concerned citizen spotted the little pink house earlier this month and reported the dog to local law enforcement.
Shelter staffers learned that the dog’s name was Pebbles, but when officers tracked down the owner, they discovered that he had given Pebbles up when he became homeless a year ago.
Things have certainly not been easy for Pebbles or her former owner, but thanks to the hard work of the officers on the case, the neglected dog finally has a roof over her head.
“She is much more adorable and cute in person,” Robin Gabriel, another fan of Pebbles, commented on Facebook, “beautiful brindle brown.”
While Pebbles has a better future to look forward to, the SCCAS wants to remind people who are struggling to care for their pets that there are options.
