A pregnant dog named Daffodil, abandoned at an Oregon animal shelter, found trust and a loving home thanks to volunteer Rachel Fusaro.
A pregnant dog who was abandoned at an animal shelter just days before giving birth found she could trust humans again. Daffodil came into an Oregon animal shelter as a surrender over the summer. Only three days later, the malnourished mama gave birth to nine puppies. But since she was already unhealthy, the dog needed extra attention to get her back on track while also caring for her newborns. That's when Rachel Fusaro, known on TikTok as @rachelfusaro, stepped in.
Fusaro, a volunteer at the animal shelter, fell in love with Daffodil and decided to bring her home as a foster. She was prepared for the puppies to arrive, but she was not ready for the 'uphill battle' that came with caring for Daffodil and all the tiny dogs. Daffodil, while already malnourished, wouldn't eat and barely drank water. Plus, nursing her puppies took more out of her, and given what she had been through, Daffodil wasn't ready to trust humans. But somehow she knew Fusaro was different. The volunteer said in her December 27 TikTok video that despite being someone Daffodil 'barely knows' the dog took a leap of faith and put her trust in her. That trust has continued to build, as Fusaro has spent countless days and weeks working with Daffodil and her babies. In the clip, Daffodil collapses into Fusaro's lap and stays instead of retreating in fear. She accepts the gentle pets. Fusaro wrote in the clip that humans 'don't deserve dogs' because they trust them even after experiencing horrific traumas. The months spent together with Daffodil and her puppies paid off because they're all in forever homes now. 'She JUST got adopted and all of her pups were just adopted too,' Fusaro told Newsweek via TikTok. 'I ended up keeping Aura, the second born, who is most like the mom.' Because Daffodil is a 'very human-focused' dog, Fusaro thought she would thrive if she went to a home where she was the only dog. Now, she is getting all the undivided attention her heart could wan
