History:

Alison was reached out to about Miso who came from a strange situation.  Apparently Miso had an owner but according to the reporter, the owner rented a room from them & basically Miso was left to himself. Then it came time for the owner to move out & apparently Miso was left behind.  During this time, the reporter’s father was taking care of Miso to which the little wholesome dog was allowed to free roam on the busy streets by himself & then allegedly caged at night.

After the owner had left, Miso unfortunately met with a hit n run situation on the road & the reporters’ father tried to take care of Miso but soon quickly figured out they were out of their depth when it came to Miso’s care & so they reached out to Alison to ask her to help by taking over.

Alison didn’t hesitate & immediately organized for MIso to be picked up & taken to the clinic immediately where Miso’s treatment & rehab commenced.  Unfortunately Miso really doesn’t have further use of his legs no matter how much therapies were given & so Miso now lives happily when he’s running around in his wheelchair or playing with his friends in his air conditioned room while waiting to find his furever home.
