After four months, the dog returned to rescue to share a bed with new parents
|In a heartwrenching turn of events, Twinkle, a frail and abandoned canine discovered roaming the streets of Miami, was fortunate enough to be taken in by the compassionate True and Faithful Pet Rescue Mission. Under their care, Twinkle’s skeletal frame and deteriorating teeth received the attention and affection she desperately needed.
According to Lisa Letson, president and founder of True and Faithful Pet Rescue Mission, Twinkle spent a few weeks recuperating from surgery at the veterinarian’s office, where she began to regain her lost weight. Letson expressed, “She transformed into an absolute darling! At the start of September, she found a wonderful family who seemed amazing and was joyfully adopted by them.”

Sadly, the rescue received an unexpected email from Twinkle’s new family around Christmas. After merely four months of having her, they expressed their desire to return her. They reasoned that Twinkle would cry incessantly throughout the night due to her longing to sleep in bed with her new parents. Despite having other senior Chihuahuas in the household, the family chose not to allow them to share their bed, leading to their decision to bring Twinkle back to the rescue.

Madison Mulvihill, the social media coordinator at True and Faithful Pet Rescue shared the profound impact this had on Twinkle. Mulvihill vividly recalls encountering Twinkle huddled in the corner of a dog bed in the main dog room, visibly shaken and filled with fear. The sense of confusion and anguish in Twinkle’s eyes was undeniable. When the family returned her, they handed her over the fence, causing her to gaze continually back at the barrier separating her from her previous home. Mulvihill poignantly remarked, “It’s so heartbreaking because we cannot explain why someone would subject her to this ordeal”.

All Twinkle yearned for was the opportunity to snuggle with her family throughout the night. The fact that her desires couldn’t be met shattered her tender heart. Everyone involved with the rescue was utterly devastated for her. They had adored her immensely from the beginning, finding it unfathomable that anyone could surrender such an affectionate and endearing soul.
Mulvihill spoke of Twinkle’s irresistible qualities, emphasizing her adorable appearance and exuberant personality, despite her mere 3-and-a-half-pound stature. Twinkle craved attention and fearlessly approached anyone when she sought affection. Her joyfulness radiated through her sweet little hops as she traversed the ranch’s grass. She was a total snuggle bug, adept at walking on a leash, and got along famously with other dogs. Whenever Twinkle desired an excellent scratch, she would gently paw at your hand, expressing her desires with undeniable charm.
