Disabled Dog Begs For A Second Chance At Life After Being Rejected For Eight Years
Nessie McNubbins spent eight years waiting for someone to look past her disability and choose her anyway. The tiny Chihuahua was born without her front legs because of neglectful breeding, and even though shelter visitors adored her, adoption never seemed to stick.
She was taken home three different times and returned just days later, leaving her stuck in the same painful cycle of hope and rejection. Then Theresa Loyacano saw Nessie's photo on social media, and everything changed for the little dog who had been overlooked for so long.
Her next chapter finally looked different, and Nessie was ready for it.

Nessie pondered for a long time why she was never chosen by any of the families. Over the course of eight years, she was "adopted" three different times, but each time, she was returned to the shelter within a few days.
Nessie was fed up with feeling "inadequate" and "unwanted," but when Theresa Loyacano stumbled across her photo on social media, her life changed forever!

According to Mom, Nessie has her very own wheelchair, although she doesn't use it often.
Theresa was certain that Nessie had a special place in her life, so she reached out to the animal shelter and adopted this sweet soul.
The first time the Chihuahua arrived at the shelter, they were concerned about her adapting to her new surroundings. This time, though, everything came together perfectly! After a long journey, Nessie had finally arrived at her "forever home."
