“Unusual Looking” Puppy Adopted By Family Who Didn’t Care About Her Scars

Disfigured animals usually have a harder time getting adopted from shelters, but this dog got “lucky.” Lisa the 10-week-old puppy was brought to the Humane Society Of Silicon Valley with scars all over her face and inflamed eyelids that required surgery. The shelter staff weren’t sure they could find a home for the pup, until Christine Doblar and her family walked in.

“My girls were freaking out the whole time that somebody else was going to take her,” Doblar told The Dodo. “She’s pretty funky looking [but she] has a wonderful, sparkling personality. The fact that she was going to each of us, and just as loving and exuberant with everyone she greeted … we looked at a few more dogs but nobody could compare to that.” The family went back the same day and adopted Lisa, who they renamed “Lucky.”

My mom always chose the disfigured animals first because they needed the loves.

She isn't ugly at all I think she is adorable. I would adopt her in a heart beat. This pup doesn't look like it has scars on it's face. I think it's just part Chinese Crested or has a birth defect.

I've always adopted disfigured animals. When I was a kid, I adopted this small kitten that had only half his nose left. No one in my family really liked him when they first saw him but as time went by he was loved by everyone as he was the cuttest cat ever. Unfortunately, he passed away a couple of years ago and I still miss him.

Sorry 4 the 2 post, I didn't see My post here so good thing I saved it first, so I added it in, and now I see both of Them & I can't delete the first 1 I posted. & I also just noticed somebody else thinks She's maybe half crested as well. That was My very first thought which was why I mentioned the hare foot on all 4 feet, 2 have an idea of what She might be, Possibilities help :)
