Wantagh, NY – A dog who has spent more than 420 days in a New York animal shelter is breaking hearts. Lady Whistledown arrived at the Town of Hempstead animal shelter in April 2022 after being found by a good Samaritan.
When the pup was first taken in, she weighed just 28 pounds and she was covered in scars on her face and back. Nobody knows what trauma Lady Whistledown has endured, but she is still impacted by whatever happened.
The shelter said:
Something bad happened to her in her previous life, and although we don’t know what, we know it had lasting effects on her. Sadly, Lady Whistledown circles in her kennel quite a bit. We don’t know if she was beaten, hit by a car, in dog fights, or what, but she clearly has suffered some sort of trauma.
Lady Whistledown spends most of her time in a kennel run…a kennel run where she circles repeatedly.
Watching her in the kennel is heartbreaking because it reveals her stress and unhappiness.
