Puppy With Unusual Appearance Finds Home With Family Who 'Saw Her For Who She Was'

This pooch is living the life she always deserved, thanks to one family who noticed her true beauty.

Lisa the puppy arrived at the Humane Society of Silicon Valley in Milpitas, California, earlier this month after spending some time at a previous shelter. The pooch, who was transferred to HSSV because she needed a more medical attention, had red and swollen eyelids-- a condition referred to as "cherry eye," Finnegan Dowling, social media manager for HSSV told The Huffington Post. The pup also had scarring on her face -- the combination made for an unusual appearance.

Though dogs with facial disfigurements often have difficulty in finding a forever home, Lisa, who has been renamed Lucky, was, well, lucky. Christine Doblar and her family were drawn to the pooch and took her home earlier this month, making her a happy addition to their family.

"They just saw a puppy. ... They have the same perception of [Lucky that she] has of herself, which is that she's just a normal puppy," Dowling told HuffPost. "They saw her for who she was ... this really sweet, funny, kissy, ridiculous, squirmy little puppy."

11. joeybee12!

Thanks for posting.

Reminds me of a little guy at a rescue group where I used to help.

He was found virtually dead...deformed badly due to malnutrition...and his lips were deformed, making it look like he was whistling, hence his name Hootie.

A neighbor fell in love with him and gave him a forever home for several years until he began to fail...there is absolutely for everyone.

Thanks again.
