Man Finds Abandoned Border Collie Puppy and Becomes Her Guardian Angel
Right now, there are going to be a lot of abandoned puppies and kittens popping up in the world. It's the start of the breeding season, which will last for about 6 months. If you can, be on the lookout for some potential babies who need saving: you never know when it'll happen!
One man wasn't expecting it at all, but when he was driving, he stumbled across the sweetest little Border Collie pup who was definitely in need of some help. He found her just in time, and luckily for her, he wasted no time springing into action to save her:
@bsnels what kind of dog do you think she is? what should her name be?! #puppy#abandonedpuppy#rescue#dogtok#lostpuppy

The man holding and giving this Border Collie, Polly, her bath was with @bsnels when they found her. They have plenty of experience with dogs, though this was their first time ever having something like this happen to them. They helped her right away!
On first glance, everyone (like, literally everyone) was convinced she was a Border Collie. She looks just like one! Actually, though, she's a mix of several different breeds, including:
- Siberian Husky.
- Australian Cattle Dog.
- Cane Corso.
There are more, too, and there's even a little bit of Mastiff in her. She might be small now, but that won't last very long! She's going to be huge!

They found the sweet girl at a gas station, and there were no signs of other puppies, her mama, or dogs of any kind. She wasn't with a pack of strays or anything: she was definitely dumped. She's getting along with the dogs in her new home, though:

The fact that they have a Bernese Mountain Dog for her to play with is perfect! They'll be able to match energies like crazy... And there's a Dachshund there! She will never get bored!
Where to Look for Abandoned Puppies
During Puppy Season, there are two types of puppies to contend with: abandoned puppies and stray puppies. Both need help, but abandoned puppies are often in worse shape.
Abandoned puppies are typically dumped in a way that's not super obvious: whoever did it doesn't want to get in trouble. That's why they're commonly left in:
- Boxes.
- Shopping bags or trash bags.
- Garbage bins or dumpsters.
- Tall patches of grass.
Just be aware of your surroundings; while you might not find anything, there's always a chance. If you have a chance to save a life, take it!
