Mina’s Heartbreaking Backstory
When rescuers found Mina, she was trembling and obviously terrified. She had been pulled out from a city pond, and it was clear she had experienced severe trauma. Every time someone approached her, she would shiver uncontrollably. The poor canine also suffered from multiple health issues that required urgent care.
“She was severely emaciated, suffering from mange and intestinal infection, anemic, dehydrated, barely walking and so emotionally traumatized that she was terrified of everything,” recounted the Howl Of A Dog team in a YouTube video. But Mina’s story was about to take an incredible turn. She was brought to the facility, where her transformation journey began.
With immediate medical intervention and a lot of love, Mina started her road to recovery. The team knew it would be a tough journey, but they were determined to see her through. Her resilience would soon inspire everyone around her, proving that love and care can work wonders.
As Mina began to heal physically, her emotional wounds also started to mend. The first signs of change were subtle, but they were there. Little by little, she began to trust the people around her, setting the stage for an astounding transformation.
Belly Rubs Are Mina’s Favorite
The initial weeks were challenging for Mina as she adapted to her new environment. She had to get used to interacting with different people and other dogs. But with continuous love, medication, and vet checkups, the once petrified dog began to come out of her shell.
It was a monumental moment when Mina wagged her tail for the first time. She started to play with other dogs in the backyard, and her joy was evident in her radiant smile. The transformation was magical; she was becoming a brand-new dog.
Among all her new activities, belly rubs became her absolute favorite. This simple act of affection was a game-changer for Mina, who had struggled to trust humans. The gentle pats on her belly marked the beginning of a new chapter for her.
With each belly rub, Mina’s trauma seemed to fade away. She grew more comfortable, eventually learning to trust her caregivers completely. Her newfound confidence signaled that she was ready for the next phase of her life.
The Perfect Home For The Perfect Girl
Within a few months, the HOAD team received the best news possible: they had found Mina a new home. Kathleen, Mattis, and their dog Alma were ready to welcome her with open arms. After her long journey, Mina finally had a family to call her own.
Mina’s new life is filled with endless playtime, daily beach visits, and countless adventures with her new family. Her new home offered her all the love and happiness she had missed out on for so long.
“She has adjusted well to her new home and loves playing with her bigger sister, Alma. Mina’s story and the transformation she’s made in the last few months are extraordinary,” her rescuers shared on Facebook. It was a testament to the power of love and care.
Seeing Mina thrive in her new environment brought immense joy to her rescuers. Her resilience and transformation served as a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when people come together to help those in need.
A Testament to Humanity’s Kindness
Mina’s story is more than just a rescue tale; it’s a testament to what humanity can achieve when united by compassion. Her journey from a shivering, fearful dog to a happy, playful pet is nothing short of miraculous.
Her rescuers, who had seen her at her worst, were overjoyed to witness her transformation. It was the greatest reward for their hard work and dedication. Mina’s story became an inspiration to everyone who heard it.
Mina’s newfound happiness and trust in humans were hard-earned victories. The love and care she received not only healed her physically but also mended her broken spirit. She now serves as a beacon of hope for other rescued animals.
To the Howl Of A Dog team, Mina will always be a symbol of what can be accomplished through love and perseverance. Her story is a powerful reminder that, with enough compassion, any dog can find its way to a happy ending.

Did Mina get along with her new sister Alma right away or did it take some time?
