Senior Stray Dog With Hardly Any Fur Gets Rescued, Rehabilitated, & Grows A Gorgeous Coat

| Published on August 25, 2017

Part of each sale through the iHeartDogs store is donated to Greater Good, which helps support various charities like Rescue Bank. Thanks to customers like you, happy endings, like the one below, are made possible.

As told by Dog It Dig It Rescue:

“Miss Opra was found as a stray in horrible condition in the busy city of Indianapolis. She had a hunched back, protruding spine, was full of parasites, mammary tumors, rotten teeth and had little hair. The rescue coordinator texted me photos while I was at my job. I immediately said yes. It broke my heart to see her.

With the high-quality food donated by Rescue Bank that we have been able to provide Miss Opra for the past eight months, she can now walk down the steps to go outside on her own. She enjoys walking around in the grass and rolling in the dirt.

Covered in beautiful fur, she has put on a pound of weight that she desperately needed.

She is happy. She wags her tail and looks forward to her meals. She is still an older woman, but her quality of life has GREATLY improved.

I honestly cannot tell you the impact Rescue Bank has made for our rescue. We receive no city or government funding and a lot of things that we need come out of our pockets from employment outside of rescue. Without this generous help, I do not know that we could continue to save animals.” 

We love this wonderful story! Help other animals like miss Opra by shopping at the iHeartDogs store. Part of each purchase helps fund charities to help homeless pets in need.
