Allie
They call me Allie, I’m only 2 years old, and man, I gotta say, it’s been a rough and scary 2 years. People tell me I was a part of something called the illegal dog meat trade (#DogsInTheDark). I know I’m young and everything, but I don’t like the sound of that… Luckily, I was rescued before I could figure out what that meant! When they found me, I was a mess, but these nice people gave me a bath and made me feel so much better! Before them, I…

I was kept in a laboratory testing facility and used for the needs of others. It’s been crazy to say the least…but things just got even crazier. I woke up in my cage as if it was a normal day, but when I…
