It is not known who the husky, who has been staying at the Erlangen animal shelter for a few days, lived with before. But there are some reasons to suspect that the bitch’s previous owner didn’t show much affection.
This is supported by the way the animal was “delivered” to the shelter: According to one employee, it was “simply thrown over the fence”. Previously, an attempt had apparently been made to break an opening in the fence. There was also damage. “Several pieces of the fence broke off, at some point they probably noticed that they couldn’t really break it and just threw them over somewhere else,” zoo keeper Tim Schwarz reported to the local portal “infranken.de”.
The “Nürnberger Nachrichten” had previously reported on the incident. The employees at the animal shelter in the Franconian city have now taken in the husky lady and called her “Lola”. Obviously, the previous owner no longer wanted the animal – one can only speculate about the reasons. “Unfortunately, we don’t know much about her. She knows basic commands, is calm and peaceful,” explains Schwarz.
The careless treatment of the animal makes him angry: “It just doesn’t work,” says the animal keeper. “Nothing surprises me anymore these days.” According to Schwarz, a longer stay in an animal shelter is “always difficult for huskies because they become more conspicuous over time and sometimes start howling”. Nevertheless, the employees at the Erlangen animal shelter are enthusiastic about the new resident. Lola is a “piece of sugar” and a “icing on the cake”.

On TikTok, users share photos of their dogs before they were adopted from the shelter — and a few months later. In the video you can see the amazing development of some “fed up” dogs.
