At 10 years old, a St. Bernard named Old Lady had survived life in a puppy mill. But her rescuers didn’t know if she would survive the winter cold after she escaped and spent more than two weeks in the Minnesota woods. Old Lady was one of 400 dogs rescued from a puppy mill in early January. The senior dog went into foster care with Ruff Start Rescue, but just as she was about to enter her new home, the unfamiliar surroundings spooked her and she bolted.
“The foster picked Old Lady up and brought her to her home,” Azure Davis told The Dodo. “As soon as the foster got her out of the car on her leash, Old Lady got spooked from the crunching ice sound and took off dragging the foster with her partway down the icy driveway.”
Rescue volunteers and her foster family immediately began searching the area. “We have had search parties, signs, phone calls, and so many people out looking for this poor girl,” the rescue wrote on Facebook.
