Uju

My story

Uju was found in the corner of a rural chicken coop, left there with her one-month-old puppy, surviving on moldy rice. There was no protection, no care— just day after day of quietly enduring life. It was only through rescue that Uju was finally given a chance to begin again. People often say, “A baby gave birth to a baby,” because Uju herself was so small, fragile, and young. And yet, despite everything she went through, Uju never learned to resent people. She shows signs that she once lived in a home: ✔ She uses pee pads well ✔ She understands basic commands like “sit” She is a smart and quick learner. More than anything, Uju loves people deeply. She is affectionate, loves to stay close to her humans, and gets along well with other dogs without aggression. Overall, she has a gentle, easygoing personality. At times, her desire to be loved is so strong that she may show a little jealousy— not out of dominance, but because her heart is full of longing for human affection. It’s simply another sign of how much she cares. Uju carries an incredible amount of love inside her small body. Now, she waits— not for a cold, hungry place, but for a warm home where she can be loved for the rest of her life. Please welcome Uju into your life not out of pity, but as a family willing to protect and cherish her until the end. She will return that love many times over. 🌙💛
