Custard’s story begins in heartbreak. This poor dog was brought to Sidewalk Specials, not for help, but with a chilling request from his owner—to end his life. The owner had already tried to kill him and failed and now wanted the rescue to finish the job. It was a moment that could have defined Custard’s fate, but the rescuers refused to let this be his ending.
Terrified and uncertain, Custard likely feared he would be sent back to the nightmare he had known. But the compassionate team at Sidewalk Specials reassured him: he was finally safe. Instead of turning him away, they vowed to fight for his survival and happiness.
The rescue was appalled by the owner’s request, but they channeled their outrage into action. With the help of a sponsored “care pack,” they provided Custard with the medical treatment, nourishment, and love he desperately needed. Slowly but surely, the transformation began.
Custard went from a scared and broken soul to a dog who truly embraced life. He sings through his days now—a joyful anthem of resilience and gratitude—and relishes every belly rub that comes his way. His sparkling eyes and wagging tail tell a story of hope, healing, and a new beginning.
This brave pup wants the world to know just how happy he is. He also hopes his former owner sees him now, thriving in a way they never imagined possible. Custard’s remarkable journey is a testament to the power of second chances and the kindness of those willing to fight for animals in need.
