A while back, on a peaceful Christmas Eve, I was casually scrolling through my Facebook feed when I came across a post about two abandoned dogs. The man who discovered these helpless souls, later named Lainey and Frankie, was fervently pleading for assistance.
He discovered the dogs in a ditch close to his house and was uncertain about what to do next. Although we had planned to travel during the New Year, we didn’t hesitate and knew that we had to save these dogs in dire need. With unwavering determination, we took them into our home and anxiously waited for 36 hours for our vet to open. We were worried about Lainey’s life because of her severe infections.
Lainey’s appearance was a stark contrast to what we were used to. She had a foul odor, impaired vision, and had bled all over our couch. However, we were ecstatic to see that Lainey not only survived but thrived in our nurturing environment. Thanks to the dedicated care of our veterinarian and a regimen of antibiotics, ivermectin treatments, and regular medicated baths, her infections began to diminish.
Over time, her previous regrets faded away and her resilient spirit was reignited. We got to know the real Lainey – a playful and affectionate soul who had never experienced the joys of puppyhood before. She finally got the chance to enjoy the pleasures of being a genuine dog, and that’s exactly what she did.
In just four months, our once malodorous and sickly foster dog was now ready to find her forever home. Serendipitously, the stars aligned as a dear friend of ours named Kelly was looking for a furry companion.
Upon hearing of her interest in Lainey, we were thrilled. Lainey had transformed into Luna and it was heartening to see her closely following the updates, photos, and videos documenting her incredible journey. After providing more information along with additional pictures and videos, Kelly and her husband Larry were completely enamored. As a result, we initiated the adoption process for Luna.
Currently, Luna is living in Georgia where she enjoys a comfortable life with her loving parents and three feline siblings. We couldn’t have imagined a better forever home for her.
We would like to express our gratitude towards the amazing Bow Dog Coalition located in Hopkinton, MA. They responded to our plea for assistance on that unforgettable Christmas Eve and covered all of Lupa’s veterinary expenses. This remarkable organization rescues numerous dogs and cats from the southern states every year, many of whom require complex medical care. They spare no expense in providing the necessary treatment and care for these pets. We are deeply grateful for the chance to know and work with this extraordinary group of individuals.
