When we look at the pets we have in our homes, we know that they are living a good life. We do everything in our power to ensure that they are happy and healthy, but not every dog has that opportunity.

Sometimes, dogs are abandoned by previous owners or are born in the wild, running the streets and doing what they can to survive from one day to the next.

That was the case with one senior beagle who was running along the side of the street. Fortunately, Adri Rachelle was there with her husband, and they decided to do the right thing.

According to The Dodo, the dog was all alone, so they gathered her up and took her home. They checked for a microchip and the dog wasn't wearing a collar, so they had no idea where to start.

First of all, they reached out to local clinics and shelters, and then they posted on social media. Nobody came forward to claim the dog, so they took her for a walk in the area where they found her.

They were curious if she may have had some puppies in the area, but they didn't find any. That is when they realized she was likely abandoned because of her age.

Rather than putting her through the stress of going to a shelter, they took her into their home and started caring for her. At first, the dog was not very comfortable around them, but eventually, she warmed up.

As Adri and her husband worked on ways to gain the trust of the beagle, they eventually were able to break through. They then let her in with the other dogs, and she has been doing better ever since.
