A heartbreaking reality that happens far too frequently is the abandonment and mistreatment of animals, left vulnerable to the dangers around them. Angel, a one-and-a-half-year-old Siberian Husky/German Shepherd mix, experienced this cruelty when she was discovered tied to a tree at Iglesia Park in Aliso Viejo, California. Helpless and unable to protect herself, Angel’s situation seemed grim, but fortunately, the staff from a nearby rescue center noticed her plight and quickly responded, stepping in to save her.
After being discovered tied to a tree in Aliso Viejo, California, Angel was brought to the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center by rescuers. There was no information available about how she ended up in that situation or how long she had been left there. Despite being deprived of food, water, and shelter, Angel was in surprisingly good health, and was thankfully saved just in time. Although the breeding season for coyotes heightened the danger, Angel had luckily avoided any attacks.
The dog did not have a microchip, making it unclear whether she had been abandoned or if she had always been a stray. What is certain, however, is that she displayed remarkable resilience. Before being made available for adoption, Angel received necessary medical treatment and grooming, all with the help of the animal welfare group DAWG. Though the adoption process took some time, interest in Angel surged after her story gained attention on social media and in local news outlets.
In the end, sweet Angel found a loving home with someone who can care for her and give her the affection she truly deserves. We hope that she can soon leave this difficult chapter behind and enjoy a happy life with her new family.
