Meet Perdita

✨ Meet Perdita ✨

When Perdita first arrived with us, she was what we believe is a “fake stray” — a dog handed in as though she’d been found wandering, but in truth, “found” by her owner. And it was painfully clear she had experienced more than her fair share of fear.

Perdita was so terrified, it took us two whole weeks just to remove her lead. Every step closer was a test of patience, trust, and compassion, all working at her pace.

But slowly, gently, in the last 2 weeks, Perdita began to change. This scared dog who once cowered in the corner, peeing in fear, has started to believe in people again. 💛 💜

Her story is a reminder of why we do what we do — and why your support really matters. Watch Perdita’s journey from fear to trust in the (very amateur) video below, and if you’d like to help more dogs like her, you can make a difference here: https://pawprintsdogrescue.org/donate/
