It started as a regular day for a group of cheerful dogs, playing near the place they once called home. But everything changed in an instant. Their owner had moved away and had no intention of taking them along. As if that wasn’t devastating enough, the man had the entire house demolished. What was once their safe place was now a pile of rubble.
Left to fend for themselves in the cold, these abandoned pups waited — confused, heartbroken, and without shelter. Luckily, help was on the way.

A group of compassionate rescuers heard about their situation and rushed to the scene. When they arrived, they saw only one dog, sitting near the demolished house, patiently waiting for an owner who would never return. They offered him food and comfort, and although they hoped to find a foster that night, it didn’t work out. So they came back the next morning, determined not to leave him behind.
To their surprise, two more dogs had joined him — all three of them abandoned and now sticking together in their shared sadness. It was clear they would need more than just temporary care. These dogs needed families.
With no immediate foster homes available, the rescuers returned every day with food, warmth, and love. Slowly, the dogs began to trust them. Their tails wagged at the sound of the car pulling in, and their spirits lifted each time someone came to visit.

But then, tragedy struck. One of the dogs, named Roku, was hit by a car. The rescuers acted quickly and rushed him to a clinic. X-rays revealed a broken femur that would require surgery. Fortunately, they found a surgeon willing to help for a reduced fee.
After the operation, Roku went to a foster home where he began healing both physically and emotionally. He found comfort with new friends named Bett and Terry, who showered him with affection. In time, Roku’s limp faded and his joy returned. Soon, he’ll transition to another foster home — his final stop before finding a forever family.

As for the other two dogs, Raya and Roger, they’re still waiting but no longer alone. Their rescuers continue to care for them daily, and each day brings new hope. These three dogs may have been abandoned once, but thanks to a group of determined hearts, their futures are filled with possibility.
