We received a call about a very sick puppy. When we pulled up to get her, we were horrified at her condition. This poor girl. Her skin was pink, scabby, and swollen to the point that she could barely open her eyes. It hurt just to look at her - we could only imagine the pain and discomfort she was in. We named her Devonna. As we had her in our arms and headed back to the Jeep, two more little heads popped up almost begging "What about us???". They were living in an outdoor pool with fencing around it, and their skin was in bad condition. Not as bad as Devonna's, but they were well on their way. Thankfully, the owner admitted to being in over their head and agreed to let us take them, too. We named them Portia (female) and Rowland (male), and they got in the Jeep with us to head back to the veterinary team who was awaiting their arrival.

All three dogs had demodex mange. Devonna's case was so severe, she could not even stand up on her own. We gave them all medicated baths, antibiotics, and pain medication to allow them to rest. After spending some time in the clinic under veterinary supervision, Devonna could finally stand on her own, so she was ready to finish her healing in a medical foster home. Portia and Rowland also went to a medical foster home together, and wow, it is amazing what love can do for a dog. Within 5 weeks, Devonna had transformed into a whole new dog, and Portia and Rowland looked SO much better, too! These were some pretty amazing recoveries. One by one, each dog found their forever families, and they will never have to experience such horrible neglect ever again.
