Grace

Grace's story is nothing short of a miracle—a journey from the brink of death to a life filled with love and vitality. Once frail, starved, and abandoned by the very people who were supposed to save her, Grace has undergone a heartwarming transformation thanks to dedicated care and unwavering medical intervention.

When Grace was first found, she was nothing more than skin and bones, barely clinging to life as she wandered the streets in search of food and shelter. Her glimmer of hope was nearly extinguished when the person who "rescued" her left her alone in a backyard for two agonizing days, neglecting her urgent medical needs all because they didn’t feel comfortable bringing her inside. By the time our team members finally found her, she was severely anemic, dehydrated, and starving—just a breath away from giving up.

Fortunately, Grace's story didn’t end there. We simply couldn’t believe our eyes when we saw her skeletal body, barely clinging on. Without a moment to waste, we scooped her up and RACED her to the vet for immediate treatment. At the hospital, she received the medical attention she so desperately needed. Her condition was so severe that her digestive system had literally shut down, and she required hand-feeding every two hours just to keep her alive.

But thankfully, she was now in our care, and we knew that with us, she would be safe. And we were going to do everything possible to heal her from this torment. This marked the beginning of her recovery journey. This was the start of her new, beautiful life.

Soon, it became clear that Grace’s troubles extended far beyond starvation. Her muscles had atrophied to the point of near paralysis, and she suffered from a severe knee injury that required immediate surgery. Despite the risks, the surgery was successful, but Grace’s road to recovery was far from over.

Veterinarians monitored her closely, ensuring she received the nutrients and medications needed to rebuild her shattered body. Her feeding schedule was carefully managed, and she was gradually introduced to puppy food—a sign of progress that brought hope to everyone involved in her care.

Weeks passed, and Grace’s resilience began to shine through. She started to stand on her own, her once weak and wobbly legs growing stronger with each passing day. Her small strides became longer, her muscles slowly rebuilding as she embraced her second chance at life.

Today, Grace is a living testament to the power of love and perseverance. We truly can't believe that this is the same dog! Her once emaciated frame is now healthy and strong, and the dullness in her eyes has been replaced with a joyful sparkle. Her fluffy brown coat has grown in after having been hidden for so long. This precious girl has become the sweet, loving dog she was always meant to be, her heart filled with gratitude for the care and kindness she received. But none of this would have been possible without you.
