Artist: Lydia Mott
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 18" x 24"
Animal Depicted: Creme Brulee

On December 15th, a Good Samaritan found Creme Brulee nearly frozen and severely emaciated beside a dumpster. She and her brother wrapped him in a blanket and rushed him to Stray Rescue, where his temperature was too low to register. He was severely dehydrated, suffering from frostbite and infection, and needed immediate supportive care.

Creme Brulee survived that first critical night and slowly regained his strength and appetite. He eventually stood on his own, began taking short walks, and was medically cleared for foster care, where he continued gaining weight and confidence.

His foster mom watched him transform from a tired, uncertain dog into a healthy, gentle, confident boy. After losing her own dog, she hadn't been sure she was ready to open her heart again-but Creme Brulee changed that. When he greeted her after work one day by climbing onto the couch to reach her and then refusing to let go, she knew he was home. Creme Brulee had gone from nearly losing his life to finding the forever family he had always deserved.
