Terrified Dog Finds His Happily Forever After

You may have been tracking the journey of a dog named Chase who arrived very scared and shut down. Today, that journey takes a most happy turn!
Chase has found himself a family willing to meet him where he is, and allow him to feel safe and grow at his own pace.
His new fur brother, Higgins, will help his journey tremendously. Something that nearly all of our rescue dogs have in common is that they feel most safe and secure with other dogs, but not always humans. Higgins will show Chase (soon to be Finn) that his parents are kind and can be trusted.
We can’t express our joy for Chase. He most certainly deserves his happily forever after. Congratulations, Chase! We’re so very happy for you.
Chase will go home just as soon as he has his neuter and dental. Home at last is coming very soon!

Thank you John and Judy for taking Chase/Finn into your family. He’s lucky to have a new brother to help him become the dog he should have been. Shame on the humans who made him terrified. Thank you NMDR for all you do.

GOD BLESS RESCUERS THANK YOU, HE DESERVES A SAFE HOME

[@joannepiatte4026]

For the life of me, I cannot understand how a human can be mean to an animal. Especially a dog. Thank God there are loving people who give these animals a good life.

[@lindabuklad6611]

People don't seem to realize that when you adopt, these dogs have gone thru a lot and may take a lot of love and patience to bring them around, just like a human. So sometimes they cannot be judged by the first meeting. Thanks for loving him❤🎉😊❤🎉😊

[@doloresforino9585]

Love stories always puts tears to my 😢 eyes and love in my heart. It's all about the animals

[@j.pejoro4909]

This poor dog is so lucky to have owners who will love and take care of him for the rest of his life. Hopefully he forgets about all the horrible past he had with his last owners. Thank you for adopting this dog. I just hope and pray all other dogs in Shelters get adopted. ❤❤❤

[@sharoncarter6172]

Awesome news!

[@larrywakeman4371]

BLESS this lovely couple and this ANGEL doggie Chase and their other doggie for giving Chase a caring loving forever home!!!!! CUTIES and cute family!!!

[@marytremblay5002]

Fantastic news.💓💓💓

[@user-gu1jk4qn6b]

God bless this wonderful couple! I pray for people like them, each day, during Rosary. We have patron saints, for just about anything, in Catholicism. Saint Roch is the patron saint of doggies! St. Roch, pray that folks will be kind to stray animals, companion animals, in particular. Pray they will feed, water, shelter and provide medical help, until they can find a shelter. Good St. Roch, pray for us.This way, I never pray alone.

[@bobbierocksbuster5584]

ADOPT DON'T SHOP, giving an abused or neglected a home is the greatest thing ever, I've got two rescue dogs and I wouldn't swap them for all the tea in china, stay happy, safe and healthy everyone 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@caroledowie1773]

Once he feels secure in his new home, I'm sure he will learn to trust and love his new family. Great that he has another dog to be his friend.

[@maxdaniels5764]

Look how gentle they are with Chase/Finn as they introduce themselves. And Higgins will teach him how to play and accept love. Thank you for a lovely video. Hugs to all of you.

[@razzberriberet]

Oh. He’s just like my Carlos who was a mill dog for 2 years. He is still afraid of the outdoors during the day. He will not go outside. And he won’t walk on a leash. But we’re working on it. I adore hi 💜💜💜

[@meglange3595]

How wonderful!! Very best wishes for Case/Finn in his new home!! 🥰 ♥️ 🤗

[@cherylcookofsouthernflorid4187]

Good Karma on John and Judy. I feel like the loving auntie. I've followed Chase's story since he arrived at National Mill Dog Rescue and he seems to have had an incredible journey since, and in such a brief amount of time. Finn has found a lovely forever home and We fans of NMDR got to share his extraordinary story. Thank you, everyone, for all he remarkable work you do.

[@veganforlife1203]

Thank you very much ❤️💖💜💞❤️💖💜❤️💞👍🏻🌞🌞🌞🏡

[@WVDB7153]

Great group of humans at NMDR! We got quite a few dogs through their efforts back when they were a fledgling rescue group. On the East coast now so can't, but they are helping to eradicate puppy mills little by little in rescuing survivors who would otherwise be destroyed. They also educate the public to adopt and not buy. Hopefully one day they won't be needed but until then....

[@llchapman1234]

What a lovely family to give shy Higgens a good home and all the patience to let him come out of his shell. Kudos to everybody.

All dogs are wonderful. But until you've rescued an abused or abandoned dog, you'll never truly understand the depth of a dog's love. Adopt. Don't shop. ❤ 🐕
