Prisons are known to be some of the harshest places on earth that everyone despises. Similarly, the Carson Animal Shelter, located in Gardens, California, is a place of hopelessness and illness. This is a high-kill shelter and considered to be one of the toughest shelters in the world. Upon entering the shelter, one is greeted with a pungent odor of dogs, chaos, and noise.

This story is about a dog who was 12 months old and experienced the hardship of being at Carson Animal Shelter. Her owner abandoned her because he no longer wanted her.

He gave no explanation for leaving his Chihuahua; it appears he simply grew weary of her. According to reports, the Chihuahua cries herself to sleep each night, longing for someone to come to her rescue.


It’s amazing to witness Hope’s remarkable recovery after being severely neglected. And this wouldn’t have been possible if Rico hadn’t shown care and rescued her.
