Niall Harbison has quite a following on social media thanks to the amazing work he does saving and rehabilitating street dogs through his Thailand animal rescue, Happy Doggo. He posts the stories of these precious animals and the amazing challenges they often overcome. Sometimes, Harbison shares the best news of all — a dog getting their forever home.
Dolly is a sweet, small brown dog that was in poor condition when Harbison rescued her. After staying at the Happy Doggo sanctuary and getting the love and medical care she needed, she’s finally getting her happy ending.
The Instagram video from @wearehappydoggo shared Dolly’s story and showed how vulnerable she was at the time of her rescue.
“They said she was too old to be loved,” the onscreen text read as Dolly quietly sat in a basket after her rescue. “Two months ago, she was found sick, fragile, and abandoned on the streets. We thought a ‘happy ever after’ was impossible.”
Clips of Dolly shortly after arriving at Happy Doggo revealed her weak condition. Yet through all of her pain and trauma, the precious pooch had the kindest demeanor and loved getting affection.
Dolly Has a New Home
This canine cutie is now getting the storybook ending she deserves. Harbison revealed that Dolly “found her person” and will be heading to her forever family.
“It’s hard to believe this is the same dog we found shaking on the street a few months ago,” the caption noted, with highlights of Dolly being cuddled and trotting through grass with a spring in her step. “Dolly was dumped because she was old and ‘unwanted’, but today, she is the most wanted girl in the world.”
The fur baby won’t be going too far since her new mom will be living in Thailand.
“She caught the eyes of a lovely lady who is moving to Thailand soon, and that’s where she will have her happy ever after,” the story continued, sharing that Dolly is already “officially adopted”.
Dolly showed pure love and gentleness throughout her entire ordeal, and was beloved by everyone at Happy Doggo.
“Proof that it’s never too late for a second chance,” the video concluded.
