Upon their successful rescue operation at Iglesia Park, Angel and her puppies were swiftly transported to the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center, where they would receive the care and attention they so desperately needed.
Though the details of how this family ended up in such a precarious position remained a mystery, one thing was abundantly clear – they had been left without access to food, water, or shelter, their very survival hanging by a thread.
The timing of their rescue could not have been more crucial, as the looming threat of coyote mating season posed a grave danger to these defenseless creatures. Thankfully, the worst was averted, and the center’s staff wasted no time in ensuring their well-being.
A Mother’s Unwavering Devotion
As the employees diligently tended to Angel and her pups, they couldn’t help but marvel at the unwavering devotion displayed by this remarkable mother. Despite her harrowing ordeal, she remained a picture of gentleness and submission, rolling over for affectionate pets and crawling into the laps of her caretakers, seeking the comfort and attention she so richly deserved.
“Simply put, Angel is a great dog,” Kelly Tokarski, the public information specialist for the City of Mission Viejo, expressed with admiration. “She just needs a wonderful home to give her the love she deserves.”

Newfound Futures
While the puppies found their forever homes with relative ease, Angel’s journey towards a permanent loving family took a bit longer. However, the power of social media and the collective spirit of compassion would soon work their magic.
“Just 24 hours after Angel’s story aired on KNBC Channel 4 and went viral via the City’s social media, the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center experienced a surge in adoption applications for this sweet Siberian husky-German shepherd mix,” the City of Mission Viejo, CA – Local Government announced on their Facebook page, igniting hope in the hearts of all who followed Angel’s tale.
