“Being happy doesn’t require much,” Inna might say if she could talk. “All you need is a companion for your journey,” she’d likely add.
Meet Inna, an incredibly endearing dog who spent her life outdoors, without the comfort of a home. Despite this, she was known as the gentlest and most content dog by those who met her at Howl Of A Dog, an animal rescue organization.
Inna and her best furry friend, Zelda, endured the elements for seven long years. Their life changed dramatically when they caught the attention of a kind-hearted individual and the dedicated team at Howl Of A Dog.
Enduring Against All Odds
Inna’s life began and persisted in a field near a sheep farm. Against all odds, she managed to survive with the help of a compassionate man who, though unable to provide a home, built a small shelter for her and Zelda right in the field. This man looked after them for almost seven years, as stated on the Howl Of A Dog website.
For the initial years, their life was relatively stable. Inna and Zelda spent their days in their makeshift home, eagerly awaiting the man they considered their hero, who regularly brought them food. However, as the area began to develop and more people moved in, their presence became less welcome.

Complaints from the new residents started pouring in, a clear signal that it was time to seek help. This was when the rescuers from Howl Of A Dog were alerted and quickly came to their aid.
An Unexpected Welcome
When the rescue team arrived, they were met not with caution, but with love. Inna, instead of being wary of these strangers, greeted them with joy. At their first meeting, she excitedly raised her paws, as if to say, “It’s cuddling o’clock!”
The rescuers shared on their website, “When I approached her for the first time, she lay on her side and raised her paw asking for belly rubs. That’s her favorite thing in the whole world.” Inna was overjoyed at the prospect of receiving affection, and she responded with boundless enthusiasm.
Within moments, Inna’s life transformed. She went from being a homeless, stray dog to a beloved pet, basking in the affection of those who came to rescue her. Her reaction to kindness was profound and immediate, making it clear she was ready for a new chapter.
The Perfect Moment Arrives
After years of uncertainty and survival, Inna’s perseverance paid off. She was not only rescued but also found a loving forever home where she could spend her golden years. Described by her rescuers as “the sweetest dog possible, friendly with everyone, gentle and calm, very good with all dogs,” Inna was finally able to live the life she deserved.
Her story is a testament to her resilient and loving nature, qualities that eventually led her to a safe and happy home. Now, far removed from the insecurity of her past life, Inna enjoys the comfort and love of a family that adores her.
Joy for Zelda Too
The story doesn’t end with Inna. Zelda, her loyal field buddy, also found her happiness. She was adopted into a family where she is cherished and is now living ‘the time of her life’. The once homeless dogs with uncertain futures now have everything they could ever wish for.
Their journey from a life of hardship to one of comfort and affection is a powerful reminder of the impact of kindness and the importance of giving every animal a chance at a better life. Thanks to the compassion of strangers and the work of dedicated rescuers, Inna and Zelda’s story is one of hope, transformation, and the joy of finding a forever home.
