Witnessing a small puppy alone and in distress is one of the most heartbreaking sights imaginable. Unfortunately, it is a common plight as countless dogs are either abandoned or lost across the globe. This particular puppy’s situation was just as dire. She was discovered by two women in the middle of a road, barely noticeable as she lay sleeping, vulnerable to being overlooked or worse, stepped on by passersby. From a mere glance, the signs of neglect were evident. The puppy was malnourished, her skin dry and showing signs of mange. Recognizing her urgent need for care, the women quickly transported her to a veterinary clinic for immediate attention.
Merida is a senior who was found abandoned in a backyard with her sibling who had passed away. She was left to fend for herself as an 11-year-old with diabetes. Thankfully, Kanoa Rescue Foundation stepped in to save her, but she still needs your help!
Fortuitously, the veterinary assessment brought hopeful news; her condition, though serious, was treatable. She was expected to make a full recovery within a few weeks. The decision was made to keep her at the clinic during her recovery period. Remarkably, by the following day, there were already signs of improvement in her health. Her appetite returned, and she showed a zest for life, playing joyfully in the clinic’s yard. During her stay, she began to mingle with other stray dogs at the clinic, gradually forming new friendships. Her recovery journey continued positively, and she was soon transferred to a shelter, awaiting someone to adopt her into a loving home. Given her endearing and playful nature, it seemed likely she would soon find a new family.
By now, we have no doubt she’s already in a forever home, enjoying all the love imaginable! Let’s do our part and share stories like this one to bring awareness to homeless animals. Please consider adopting a shelter pet or volunteering at a local rescue organization.
