Seeing a trembling golden retriever in a wheelbarrow, moments from euthanasia, would break anyone’s heart. That’s exactly what happened to Darla, a shy 8-month-old puppy in a crowded Texas shelter. She wasn’t sick or aggressive—just scared. Luckily, a team from Austin Pets Alive! showed up at the right moment and decided she deserved a shot at happiness. Now, Darla’s learning to trust, play, and just be a dog again. Stories like hers remind us how much a little compassion can change a life.
