I Struggled - But I Am Full-of-Love!

Hello, dear Hooman, Boo here 👋🏼🐶

If you ever find yourself navigating the twists and turns of struggle and mental health challenges, I want you to know you're not alone in your journey.

I'm a Melbourne rescue dog overflowing with love, on a mission to dismantle stigmas and ignite hope in Hooman (and FURiend's) hearts.

I want to share my special story of struggle and love with you.

You see, I came from pretty rough beginnings... I am a rescue dog. I was liberated by a BOOtiful, incredible Animal Rescue called Strong Hearts.

Strong Hearts Sanctuary is a registered DGR charity based in Victoria, Australia, which began exclusively rescuing farmed animals, but now has expanded into rescuing companion animals such as cats, dogs, rabbits and birds.

When they found me, on a large property near Melbourne I was an abused, malnutritioned, starving rescue puppy. I was flea ridden and had lots of hair loss. I had to undergo surgery and was truly terrified of the world.

When my FURever family found me, in December 2022,  I was too scared to use my voice. I wouldn't bark at all - or leave the house without shutting down.

But I discovered something.

These new Hoomans were kind, gentle and they had tiny Hoomans - who were completely Full-of-Love.

They helped me discover what I truly am - Full-of-Love.

And now I am here on a mission to sharing these learnings with the world.

The Hoomans of Strong Hearts and my new Hoomum were different. They didn't turn away. They extended their hands and hearts to me. That was the day I learned about unconditional love.

They saved me from my dire situation, giving me a chance at a better life. I was introduced to a loving home with my new Hooman family. Their smiles and laughter filled my heart with joy. They provided me with food, shelter, and endless love.

I discovered that Hooman’s have the incredible ability to show compassion and kindness and change each other from it.

As I settled into my new life, I realized something profound: it wasn't just Hooman’s who were doing the saving. Dogs like me have a special gift too.

Dogs offer unconditional love, loyalty, and a unique ability to heal hearts.

I became a true source of comfort and joy for my Hooman’s, who had lost their two FURbabies a year earlier.

My Hoomum has her own story of struggle too and has suffered. A lot.

To name a few things she has experienced and still experiences:
depression, anxiety, miscarriage, childhood trauma, trauma bonding, ADHD, ASD (Autism), post natal depression and sensory sensitivity.

She shares these things for no other reason than to help those around her connect and bring out their best BOOtiful self too.

Some of the biggest healers for her have been:
Therapy (Psychology)
Journaling
Hypnosis
Energy work
Research and Learning
Training in Reiki
Nutrition
Getting a diagnosis
Medication
And of corse me 🐶

Opening up encourages others to open up.

It encourages us all to connect with our hearts, share and move past the fear of judgement.

When we suppress we regress.

So here is your reminder, dear Hooman, if you’re struggling with your mental health, open up and talk to someone.

Nothing changes if nothing changes.

Today, I'm a happy, healfffy and unconditionally loved.

My journey from humble beginnings has shown me that the world is full of compassion, and love can transform lives. As I look into my Hooman's eyes, I know that we have saved each other in more ways than one.

My story is a testament to the incredible bond between dogs like me and our Hooman’s. We bring out the best in each other and learn invaluable life lessons along the way.

It's not just Hooman’s who save dogs; dogs like me save Hooman’s too.

Full-of-Love dear Hooman
Boo 🐶❤️🐾
