To celebrate National Rescue Dog Day, we are highlighting this absolutely perfect angel, Punky! She has been waiting for her forever home for over THREE YEARS! Let’s make this National Rescue Dog Day her last one without a family!

Punky was rescued in the Los Angeles area from a life where she had been misused for profit by a breeder, forced to have litter after litter. And when they were done with her? They planned to dump her at the shelter, like trash.

Thankfully, the @lange_foundation stepped in to rescue her and give her the medical care she needed

Now, three years later, Punky is happy, healthy… and still waiting patiently for someone to choose her. This girl is ALL heart. She is the epitome of resilience, of joy, of unconditional love.

Punky doesn’t act her age (9) — in fact, she’s the first to run up and show off her tricks, sit politely, and shake your hand. She adores people, especially children, and she brings joy wherever she goes. Every time @lange_foundation visits a school or do an event, Punky is the one they bring.

She’s a snuggler, a kisser, a sweetheart who wants nothing more than to curl up beside you and love you with her whole heart. After everything she’s been through, Punky still chooses love.

National Rescue Dog Day is day meant to honor dogs just like Punky. It’s a day to raise awareness for dogs in shelters who are still waiting for their forever home. We can’t think of a more powerful way to celebrate than by finally getting this incredible girl adopted.

Please, help us share Punky’s story far and wide. Let’s give her the happy ending she’s been waiting for. And if you can’t adopt, consider donating a gift from her wishlist to help us spoil her while she waits. Every act of kindness matters.

Thank you for believing in rescue dogs like Punky, and we hope the next update we share on our girl is the one where she finally goes home!

Punky’s wishlist and adoption link are in our bio ❤️

A special shoutout and thank you to @itskatesteinberg for joining the @welovecuddly team on this visit!
