Tiny Chihuahua Puppy Blossoms Into A New Dog After Being Showered With Love

All shelter dogs dream of finding a forever family to love and cherish them. They wait patiently, hoping that someone will pick them up, but sadly, some dogs are overlooked time and again.

This is the story of Tiny Tater Tot, a little shelter puppy who knew the pain of being passed over and unloved.

 

Tiny Tater Tot Longs For Love

From the moment Tiny Tater Tot arrived at the Austin Animal Center in Texas, the shelter staff fell in love with him.

 

Despite suffering from a severe case of mange, his affectionate personality shone through. All he wanted was to be loved, but his skin condition caused many potential adopters to pass him by.

The staff provided him with the care he needed, but they knew that Tiny Tater Tot would heal much faster in a home.

Sadly, no one was willing to give him the chance he desperately needed. His caregivers believed he just needed someone to see his worth and shower him with love.

 

A New Beginning In A Foster Home

Thankfully, a kind couple named Sylvie and Martin stepped up to be his foster parents.

Tiny Tater Tot left the shelter behind and moved into their loving home. Upon arrival, they were heartbroken to see his tiny body covered in mange and his sad, dejected expression.

Determined to help him heal, Sylvie and Martin surrounded him with all the love and care they could provide.

Due to his contagious skin condition, they had to keep him isolated from their other pets. They set up a cozy little space for him in their spare bathroom, visiting him often throughout the day to give him love and encouragement.

 

Though it may have seemed like a lonely situation, Sylvie assured that, “Despite this sounding like a sad lifestyle, Tiny has been absolutely great. And, it’s much quieter and more enriching than a crate at the shelter.

 

Transformation Through Love And Care

At first, Tiny Tater Tot slept a lot, an essential part of his healing process.

But as time passed, he began to transform. The once-sick puppy became full of energy and happiness. He would eagerly run to Sylvie and Martin’s arms, craving their affection.

He always greets me with tail wags and running around my feet. Every time I pick him up, he quickly calms down, and his favorite snuggle is to burrow his nose under my armpit,” Sylvie said to The Dodo.

 

Tiny Tater Tot’s Journey To A Forever Home

After a few weeks, Tiny Tater Tot was fully recovered and mange-free.

He was finally able to meet his foster siblings, and he quickly formed a special bond with Lucy, the family’s adopted mama dog.
