Title: Healed in Every Hue

Artist: Sherry Phillips

Medium: Painting - Acrylic

Dimensions: 16" x 20"

Animal Depicted: Tifa

A Good Samaritan had found a dog in a box behind the dumpster at his apartment complex. He couldn't believe the sight of her - she was just skin and bones. He picked her up and carried her home, determined to save her life. A few days went by and he became so overwhelmed realizing he was in over his head. He called us at Stray Rescue, and we went and met him right away. He carried her out in a towel, tears streaming down his face. We assured him that he was her angel, and we would take it from there. We named her Tifa.

She was hypothermic and hypoglycemic, and she could not even lift her head. She was just 19 pounds. She spent time in our clinic being carefully re-fed and stabilized, and our Chief of Clinic Administration took her home as a medical foster. After about a month, with Julia, Tifa had gained 15 pounds and was thriving. When she was medically cleared, she went to another foster home with one of our amazing sponsors, and that ended up being her forever home!
