Over 40 dogs were rescued by the Houston Humane Society from a horrible hoarding case where all of the dogs lived in a broken-down trailer among filth and trash.
One of those dogs was also a senior Chihuahua named Toothless.
Given the horrible living conditions and everything these poor dogs lived through, it comes as no surprise that Toothless was very feral and untrusting. However, that quickly changed once a kind-hearted lady decided to give him a chance and adopt him.
Toothless’ Story
According to Madeleine Cantrell (Toothless’ mom), from Houston, this little dog was very feral and untrusting at the time of the rescue, suggesting that he and all other dogs had very little human interaction throughout their lives.
The place and the condition where they all lived were absolutely horrifying. The trailer was literally filled with feces and trash, and they probably had to fight for the little food they had.
Once Toothless arrived at the Houston shelter, he continued to constantly growl and bark at everyone, even attempting to bite those who tried to handle him.
Having worked with the Houston shelter for a long time, Madeleine couldn’t resist helping the dogs after she had heard their heartbreaking story.
Despite the not-so-good first impression, Madeleine still wanted to foster him and give this poor dog a second chance.
They discovered that he was covered in fleas and had no teeth, so she decided to name him Toothless.
