When Angel was rescued she would not turn around and face her new home. Rescuers believe she was traumatized and abused. They say she would just face the wall and not move for days. They would leave food and she would only eat when no one was watching.

Angel suffered mange and rescuers believed he would suffer long term psychological problems.
After bringing in another dog from the same pound they immediately saw a change in Angel's personality. They believe he may be Angel's brother and named him Cliff.

But now just six months later her personality has completely changed. She has found her voice and a forever home.

BRB gonna go pet my dog.

They founded a pack. Their howling defends the vast wilderness of the house with its rich prey of dogfood.

What kind of dogs are these, whippets? They're REALLY freaking cute

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I can't imagine Angel is an Iggy, looks too big, even so the black dog looks too small to be a full greyhound. Guessing both are whippets.

If an hour cowers in fear because of something I had done, I would probably need therapy. Besides the fact I already need therapy.

Her and tell her "good Girl" for warning us. She was turned in for constant barking. I suspect they beat her for it so I praise her for it.
