From Eleventh Hour Rescue

Hero is a 1-year-old, 6 lb Chihuahua who may be small in stature but has a hero's journey of epic proportions. She is a survivor of a mass hoarding case where over 40 tiny, but tenacious, dogs were abandoned throughout two counties in northern NJ. These resilient pint-sized pups were thrown from a vehicle into the cold winter woods alone; some trapped in cages, some left wandering. Some did not make it. Hero persevered, though, and truly earned her distinguished name. Despite being found first, this wonder woman sacrificed instant safety by eluding rescuers until she brought them to her best friend: another pup named Tiny Tim who had paralyzed hind legs and was stuck by a river. Not only does Hero deserve a home, but she also deserves a medal of honor. Hero is luckily being fostered by her human hero, the woman who helped find and save all these dogs. Hero has come such a long way from living in a crowded basement to then being tossed into the wilderness to fend for herself, terrified and alone. It's no surprise, Hero loves other dogs so she will need to go to a home with a canine companion because a sidekick always helps a main character shine. Hero's future family will…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
