Several volunteers mobilized to save a suffering dog, but the latter systematically managed to escape them. Finally, after a year of effort, the animal was rescued.
A stray dog, Amethyst also suffered from various health problems and desperately needed help. However, she did not let herself be approached, as told by The Dodo.
Shana Breeden, a volunteer, had heard of her in September 2017 and resumed her search. She had been told that the dog often hung out near a store in Houston, Texas. Every evening, the young woman went to the scene after work, hoping to find her, but in vain.
I hate leaving a dog on the street. Once I’ve seen one, it’s impossible for me not to think about him anymore. I can’t forget them, ”she confided to The Dodo. Shana Breeden posted ads on social media, went door-to-door with other volunteers, but Amethyst seems to have disappeared. She feared the worst for her.
It was only 5 months later that she learned that a man had seen the dog in a small abandoned residence. Shana Breeden went there and did find her there, but her condition had worsened. She had lost all her hair and her eyes were infected. Unfortunately, again, Amethyst had fled.
Another 4 months paid off, and another volunteer from Houston, Heather Lowery, decided to take matters into her own hands. With the help of a group of volunteers, she was finally able to put an end to the long run of the dog in distress, after 5 hours of effort.
Amethyst was immediately taken to a veterinary clinic, where she received more than one disease: scabies, but also heartworm disease, an eye infection, parasitosis and anemia in particular. Fortunately, Houston K-911 Rescue funded his entire care.
When the dog left the clinic, Heather Lowery took her into her home. Suspicious and scared at first, Amethyst only began to trust him after a month. Then the two of them became very close to each other. The dog’s state of health has improved significantly and her hair has started to grow back.
Progress followed very closely by the one who had been the first to try to save her. Shana Breeden has, in fact, paid him a visit and was more than moved to see his metamorphosis.
