Despite being known as our best friends, some dogs are not treated kindly; they are kept alone in cages and put through painful tests. Every year,almost 65,000 dogs go through these tough situations in U.S. labs. Dora, a sweet beagle, was one of them, but thankfully, she found a loving home.

One Tail at a Time, located in Chicago, is a no-kill rescue that assists numerous families in discovering their new beloved companion through adoption annually.

They put her in a foster family, and there Dora learned to trust people, handle the outdoors, and all the things a good dog should know

Luckily, Dora’s temporary caretaker was really helpful in making her feel better and do well. Then, someone else took Dora to get spayed, but they got attached to her and decided to keep her forever because they fell in love with her.

The story of the adorable dog melted the hearts of Laura Sivy Wolbrink and Luke Wolbrink
