Dog Found Tied To Tree With Pups Looks For New Home In South OC

MISSION VIEJO, CA — One very sweet girl is getting a new lease on life after she was abandoned by her owner at a park in South Orange County.

Angel, a Siberian husky-German shepherd mix, was found tied to a tree in Aliso Viejo with her seven puppies in a box beside her, Mission Viejo Spokeswoman Kelly Tokarski told Patch.

The 1-year-old dog was left with no food, no water and no way to shield her or her puppies from danger.

Her luck only changed after she and her pups were brought into the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center. While police investigate the case of animal cruelty, Angel and her babies received their vaccines and a bath.

While Angel's pups have since been adopted, Angel is still waiting for the perfect home.

"She is truly one of the nicest, kindest dogs we have ever met," Tokarski said. "She rolls over in submission when getting pets and will crawl up into your lap for attention. She's a great dog."

Residents interested in adopting Angel can visit the City of Mission Viejo's website for more information on adopting a dog.
