Before she saw the picture of a dog sitting all alone at the station, Heather was in her New York City home looking for a dog to foster online. Then, her heart started racing!

“Someone just tied this dog to a pole at a subway stop,” the Nycfrrecurb team wrote on Instagram.

Even though she didn’t have a plan worked out, she decided to get a cab and check out the dog. On her ride to the said location, Heather was nervous as this was her first attempt to actually rescue a dog.

But, as soon as she arrived at the spot – her doubts vanished! The dog was extremely friendly and she immediately started wagging her tail around Heather.

In a way, she was also glad that this giant-hearted woman ran by, and she immediately melted around her. She licked her face as if she was saying: “Thank you, hooman!”

People who saw the post online wondered about the dog for hours until a comment appeared on their screen:

“She’s coming with me tonight,” Heather wrote under the Nycfrrecurb’s post.

The dog, later named Peaches, found her comfort in Heather’s arms. After speaking to New York City police, Heather was given permission to take Peaches home, where their actual adventure began.

The two immediately formed a wonderful bond. Peaches was very friendly right off the bat, and she had amazing doggo manners.

She already knew some commands, and loved playing fetch with Heather. She absolutely adores her daily walks to a park, and when it comes to toys – Peaches is hopelessly in love with stuffies!

Having her in life was absolutely reworrding, and Heather could not be more grateful. Despite Peaches’ craul abondomment, she got a loving foster in the end. And, her heart absolutely healed around her new momma!

“She’s doing wonderful! She’s been adopted recently and is getting absolutely spoiled in her new home,” she wrote.

Once an abondomed pup with an uncertain destiny, Peaches is now one happy doggo girl!
