Sometimes, a little love and a second chance are all it takes to change a life, and that’s certainly the case for a lucky dog named True. Social media star Alix Earle recently shared a truly emotional video about fostering True, a senior pittie who was facing the most heartbreaking outcome imaginable – he was scheduled to be euthanized.
It’s a stark reminder of the urgent need faced by so many animals in shelters. And it’s always very appreciated when celebrities and influencers use their platform to advocate for these poor pets who only need a chance.
Alix, along with her boyfriend, NFL star Braxton Berrios, shared a tearful video on Instagram, showing them embracing True. The video beautifully conveyed the simple truth that True needed love, and he found it with them. It’s clear from the updates Alix has been sharing that True is absolutely thriving in their care, enjoying every moment of his newfound safety and affection. (Who’s taking bets on this pup finally being her foster fail?)
This isn’t Alix’s first time opening her heart and home to a dog in need. She previously fostered a dog named Asia, who had spent an incredibly long 495 days in a shelter. Alix has also been using her significant platform to shine a light on other dogs at the Miami-Dade shelter who are desperately waiting for their own families. Despite the challenges of her travel schedule, her commitment to these animals is truly amazing.
Seeing True go from facing euthanasia to being showered with love is a testament to the impact of fostering. It highlights the critical role foster homes play in saving lives and giving deserving dogs the chance to finally know what it feels like to be truly loved and safe. It makes you appreciate the compassionate people who step up to provide that crucial bridge to a furever home.
