Family Adopts Dog Who Endured Rough Life Before She Was Euthanized

The “unicorn” dog, Strawberry, a pit bull mix who is 2 years old, was almost put to sleep because of a bump on her head.

Strawberry was saved from euthanasia by the La Belle Foundation. This is an animal rescue organization based in Los Angelos.

“Her skin was bright pink from infection, covered in mange, and she had 2 large lumps on her head,” the post stated.

Strawberry has earned the nickname “the unicorn dog.” After seeing updates on Strawberry online, South Pasadena, California, Kristen Kuhlman decided to adopt her.

“She was still available, and I continued seeing her photo appear on the foundation’s Instagram page. I had never seen a dog like her before, and she just had such kind eyes, Kuhlman remarked.

She’s one in a million, one of a kind, and very distinctive and recognizable.

Kuhlman is a married mother of twins. Strawberry had a “tough” time acclimating to her new surroundings. That’s what Kuhlman said when she brought her home in September 2022.

I have always jokingly said that I like the dogs that are blind or only have three legs,”Kuhlman remarked. I prefer to acquire pets that fit that description. Strawberry thus seemed like a nice choice for our family for some reason.”

Strawberry’s been through a lot in her life. She was apprehensive at first and didn’t know what was happening. That’s because she had been moving so much. Strawberry would kind of cry at night, according to Kuhlman, who also noted this.

“Oh no, what have we gotten ourselves into,”we all thought, she recalled. “But boy, within a couple of weeks, she broke out of her shell and turned into the most lovable dog. My relatives adore her.”

Strawberry enjoys cuddling and fetch games with her new family. Thanks to Kristen, we know that Strawberry enjoys a good game of fetch. Her kids love to play with her. Her husband also enjoys taking naps and cuddling with Strawberry on the couch.

They chose to preserve Strawberry’s name rather than change it. Kuhlman felt the nickname suited Strawberry’s character. She is a really sweet girl.
