That puppy was Pino.
Terrified and starving, Pino cried out from inside the bag, his tiny body trembling with fear. By pure luck—or perhaps fate—his cries were heard, leading rescuers to the heartbreaking scene.
What they found was a 5-week-old puppy weighing barely 700 grams, weak and calling for a mother who would never come.
Rescued just in time, Pino was taken in, fed, and cared for. In those early days, his cries continued as he mourned the comfort he’d lost.
But surrounded by love and kindness, Pino slowly began to understand that he was safe, no longer alone in the world.
His transformation since that moment has been nothing short of incredible. What began as a heartbreaking story of cruelty turned into a tale of resilience and love.
Pino’s bright future became clear the day a kind-hearted adopter visited the Safe House and instantly fell in love. That meeting marked the start of Pino’s true happy ending.
Today, Pino knows what it means to be part of a family. He has found the joy and security every animal deserves, and his journey continues to inspire everyone who hears it.
Watching him thrive is a reminder of what love and second chances can do.
For those who believe every animal deserves a voice and a home, supporting rescue efforts like these helps save more lives like Pino’s.
His story proves that even the most broken beginnings can lead to the happiest of lives.
