Rescuers Find This Dog Chained Outside In The Rain – Watch His Face When He Sees Them Coming

While there are certainly people out there who mistreat dogs, it’s safe to say that most of us want the best for all the pooches in our lives—pets, strays, or otherwise. That’s why we hear so many wonderful stories of dogs being rescued by caring people!

Unfortunately, even when we have a strong desire to provide dogs in need with a safer home, we don’t always have the means to actually do so. There can be many reasons for this, whether it be from a lack of expertise to insufficient space.

Take one woman in North Carolina, for instance. When she came across two dogs who were suffering, she desperately wanted to help them. Yet she couldn’t do it alone!

One day, an elderly woman in Durham County, North Carolina named Belinda noticed two dogs wandering around her neighborhood. Concerned for their well-being, she took them in. Unfortunately, pets weren’t allowed inside her home as per her landlord’s rules—and she couldn’t afford a fence—so she had no choice but to chain them up outside.

She named the dogs Mama and Oreo. Not long after, Mama broke free of her chains and was found on the street by Durham County animal control officers. Instead of taking Mama to a shelter, they returned her to Belinda. They also gave Belinda the contact information for the operations director of a nonprofit called Coalition to Unchain Dogs.

According to the nonprofit’s Facebook page, the group is “dedicated to providing assistance to people and dogs in underserved communities,” so Belinda fit the bill. As such, a number of people from the team arrived at her house to build a fence for her!

“We built the fence for Belinda and her dogs and gave the dogs straw,” said Lori Hensley of the Coalition to Unchain Dogs. “Belinda lives alone and without a car in one of the poorest and most underserved neighborhoods of Durham.”
