Ten days ago, I received a call regarding a dog that probably was one of the most severe cases of neglect that I have encountered in my six years of working in animal rescue. I named him Jake. Ten days later I’m happy to report that because of a group of very special people, Jake’s life has been completely turned around through the kindness and attention of myself, Linda, Melissa at Tidy Dogs Salon in Thunderbolt, Dr. Brian Mulvey and his wonderful foster mom, Nancy. In less than 36 hours Jake went from what you see in the first two pictures found on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/GrrrSavannah) to the incredible transformation you see in the second two pictures. Nobody said “let me see what I can do” but everyone jumped in without hesitation and saved a dog’s life on days where the temperatures were dropping and another day or two might have resulted in a very sad little dog perishing alone. Thank you to everyone for their love and kindness. Ten days later, Jake’s eye and ear infections are under control, and he is scheduled with Dr. Mulvey in two weeks for his neuter and a complete dental. This is what we do, this is who we are. The power of rescue and the people involved is incredible and today there is a happy little dog named Jake who will never again know the sadness and neglect that was his life before finding us.
