A good Samaritan came across a poor puppy lying passed out on the pavement in the middle of a road, and called Adopt-A-Bull Rescue for help.
They said, “Although rescue funds are incredibly low and we don’t have any open foster homes, since the situation was urgent we acted on faith and made an emergency decision to help, confident that our supporters (locally and on Facebook) would help us once we took her in.” And you’ll be so glad they did.
This bullie was a 15-month-old puppy weighing a staggering 18 pounds. Besides the obvious malnutrition issues, she was anemic and her electrolyte and blood counts were all over the place. She suffered from an extreme case of demodex mange that had gone untreated since she was a pup.
The incredible folks at the rescue didn’t stop there. They began conducting an extensive investigation as to who may have been responsible for her condition. Finally, they traced the owner who purchased Princess from a pet store in Miami. And get this: The original owner gave her back to the pet store after only having her a short time, because of her demodex (which is extremely common in puppies). They didn’t want to “deal with a sick dog.” And the woman who sold Princess? She operated a puppy mill! “We have strong suspicions that whoever has been harboring Princess has let her purposefully deteriorate to this condition before dumping her,” the rescue said.
But now for the good news: After just two days of love and care, Princess improved drastically and went on to make a full recovery. She was fostered by a wonderful family who provided her with all the love, food, pampering, and attention she’s always deserved.
