Lady was loved and cared for by her owners until she wasn’t. One day, when she chased her owners’ chickens, they got mad and decided to punish her for it.

But the punishment was unimaginable and beyond cruel. They chained Lady up in their backyard, forcing her to brave the elements. She sat there chained up, unable to walk more than a few feet. She had no proper shelter and sadly lived outside through a brutal winter.

Instead of dong the right thing and letting Lady come back inside the warm house, her careless owners left her to die. When Sidewalk Specials caught word of Lady’s abuse, her owners told them to “take her or we’ll kill her.”

Sidewalk Specials set Lady free from her chain, and brought her to a warm environment where she belongs. At first she was scared of touch and rigid with fear, but soon she understood that these people were there to help her, and that no everyone she comes across is cruel like her previous owners.

She was examined and medically treated by a vet, and was finally given proper food and water and a comfortable place to sleep.

Lady is finally free to not only walk around, but to run like the wind. She loves playing in her new backyard, feeling the soft grass on her paws. She is enjoying her new-found freedom and is loving her new life with her new mom.

Watch her rescue and amazing transformation in the video below:
