Meet Guppy, a 6-month-old pup with a heart as big as his journey. Found abandoned and injured on the side of a busy street, Guppy’s fate seemed bleak. For more than a day he lay unnoticed, battling the elements and clinging to life.

Rain poured, cars rushed past, and Guppy fought to keep his head above water in the gutter where he lay. When finally discovered, he was trembling from hypothermia, his small body struggling to endure the harsh conditions.

Rushed to the vet, Guppy’s fate hung in the balance. His head injury, a result of a collision with a vehicle, added to the uncertainty. Yet, against the odds, Guppy showed immense strength. Days in the hospital turned into a testament of his resilience as he fought to recover.

Today, Guppy stands as a survivor, a testament to the power of care and determination. Despite his shy nature, his heart is filled with love and a longing for a family to call his own. His appearance may surprise you — a shepherd’s face with the petite frame of a Chihuahua — but his spirit is unmatched.
