Countless dogs live as strays. Some have actually lived as strays for most of their lives that they don’t even know what human interaction is like. Because of this, many stray dogs are cautious when it comes to interacting with humans.
A woman named Penny happened to come across a stray dog that had overgrown and matted fur. Penny learned that no one could catch the stray dog for two and a half years and had been living on its own for years.
Penny knew that she needed to do something to catch the stray dog so she could give it another chance to become a part of the family. Penny started to come to the neighborhood where the dog frequents so the dog would get used to seeing her and smelling her.
As an animal rescuer, Penny knows that the first step in rescuing a stray dog is to establish trust. After a while, Penny started to leave pieces of chicken behind. When the stray dog finally started to eat the pieces of chicken that Penny left behind, Penny decided that the best way to catch the stray dog would be to trap her in a large kennel.
Penny set up the kennel she brought and continued to feed Penny every night to establish trust, lure her, and get her used to the chicken. On the 22nd day of attempting to rescue the stray dog, Penny was finally able to lure the stay dog into the kennel. As soon as the stray dog was eating the chicken placed on the far side of the kennel, Penny closed the door with a string.
At first, the stray dog was a little startled but she didn’t bark or growl at Penny when she went near her. Penny was so happy that she was finally able to catch the stray dog and she quickly brought the stray dog to her house. Penny’s fellow volunteers started to cut the matted fur off the stray dog.
Penny found out the dog’s gender after cutting off the fur and she named her Miley. Despite being cautious around humans, Miley showed her sweet personality. Penny knew that she already fell in love with Miley.
Although Penny was just going to be a foster for Miley, she decided to adopt her and let Miley be a part of her family. It didn’t take long for Miley to learn that she’s in a safe place. Miley came out of her shell and showed her playful and sweet personality. Here’s a video about how Penny rescued Miley and gave her a loving forever home.
