Alisa's Story

One day, a family looked for several dogs and made the decision to take Alisa home. She thought that’d be her chance to have her family since then. Nevertheless, Alisa was abused and mistreated. After 3 days, she was sent back to the shelter with completely different character that volunteer had no idea what on earth happened to her. We think that they tortured Alisa which caused Alisa to begin to pre-judge the people she meets. Alisa may look as the same little girl but she is traumatized deep inside that she keeps distance with people.

Thank god that volunteer didn’t give up and try to give her another chance. After taking her out of shelter, volunteer has spent lots of time with Alisa in order to let her regain the trust of human. After a while, Alisa is happy and trusting people again. She knows that these people will do her no harm but love her very much. Alisa became off guard and a lovely puppy again. In addition, Alisa was brought to 3 different vets to consult her condition after the recovery. It’s confirmed by all 3 vets that it will not affect daily life of Alisa.
