These Exotic Bullies Were Almost Euthanized Due to Unethical Breeding —But One Hero Changed Their Fate
With overcrowded shelters all over the United States, so many dogs lose their lives to euthanasia simply because no one gave them a chance. Priscilla was supposed to be one of them, as the dog was on a shelter’s euthanasia list. She was overbred and then dumped at the shelter. (Watch Video Below)
@roadogsrescue Remember our sweet girl Priscilla Lilyleaf who was rescued last year? Well, she’s been living her very best life ever since finding her forever home with her amazing adopter, Chelsea! Shortly after adopting Priscilla, Chelsea welcomed another Roadogs pup into the family — our lovable Gaston, who shares a striking resemblance to his sister. 🐶💕 #dogsoftiktok #happyendings #adoptionjourney #rescuedog ♬ Beautiful Things – Benson Boone
Her severe congenital issues meant that she couldn’t even walk properly. So, the Exotic Bully dog’s fate was sealed until Roadogs Rescue decided to give this dog a shot and pulled her out of the shelter.
The Toll of Unethical Overbreeding
Priscilla had been bred so excessively and unnaturally that her body couldn’t function properly. She was so low to the ground that walking was a struggle, but her most painful issue was her stretched, sagging nipples, which dragged on the ground, causing constant discomfort and even making her trip.
After rescuing her, Southern California-based Roadogs stepped in to give her a second chance. They spent $6,500 on medical care, including spay surgery, nipple removal, and surgery for removing kidney stones. Thankfully, Priscilla’s recovery went smoothly, and for the first time in her life, she could walk without pain—soon, she was even running.
But it’s heartbreaking that a young dog like Priscilla had to endure so many surgeries just to live normally, all because of the cruel consequences of unethical overbreeding.
Two Rescue Dogs, One Happy Ending
Following her remarkable recovery, Priscilla was adopted into a loving home. Not long after, Roadogs rescued another micro bully named Gaston, who bore an uncanny resemblance to her. He too had been bred extremely low to the ground and faced similar challenges.
When Priscilla’s mom, Chelsea, saw Gaston, she couldn’t stop thinking about him. She knew in her heart he belonged with them and soon, Gaston joined the family.
Today, Priscilla and Gaston are inseparable fursiblings, living their best lives with a family that adores them. Their heartwarming transformation is enough to bring a smile to any animal lover’s face. As Chelsea puts it, “I am truly blessed to be their momma.”
It’s amazing to see two dogs who were once victims of toxic dog breeding industry, are now thriving in loving forever homes and have found companionship in each other.
Pet rescue advocate and YouTuber Rocky Kanaka is also touched by these dogs’ journey, as he says, “What happened to Priscilla and Gaston is a heartbreaking example of how unethical breeding harms innocent dogs. But their story also proves the power of rescue, love, and second chances. Watching them heal and thrive together is nothing short of inspiring.”
