Abandoned Border Collie Overcomes Brutal Attack

When rescuers first found Nulli, a gentle Border Collie left to fend for herself on the streets of South Africa, her future looked bleak. But thanks to the kindness of animal lovers and Nulli’s fierce will to survive, this brave pup is now living her best life.

After her owner cruelly abandoned her and disappeared, Nulli waited day after day outside the empty house, hoping he would return. Instead of kindness, she faced cruelty — attacked by other dogs while searching for food. Left badly injured and alone, Nulli’s situation was desperate.

A Good Samaritan stepped in, contacting Sidewalk Specials, a rescue group dedicated to giving abandoned animals a second chance. When rescuers arrived, they rushed Nulli to the vet. Beneath her matted fur, they found hundreds of puncture wounds, a fractured skull, and broken teeth — injuries she had endured quietly for too long.

Despite her pain, Nulli never lashed out. Her spirit stayed gentle, calm, and hopeful — true to the Border Collie’s nature of intelligence, loyalty, and quiet strength. With medical care, grooming, and love, Nulli slowly healed. The light returned to her eyes, and she grew strong enough to be adopted.

Today, Nulli’s transformation is stunning. She’s been welcomed by a loving family who showers her with affection, takes her on daily beach adventures, and has given her a canine sibling to play with. No more fear, no more hunger, no more lonely nights waiting for someone who never came.

Nulli now lives the life every dog deserves: filled with joy, safety, and endless love.
