When Tina arrived at Vet Ranch Rescue, her physical appearance was enough to break the hearts of all who laid eyes on her.
She had a cone on her neck to protect her from licking her wounds — giant chemical burns down her back and all over her skin that resulted from a monstrous attempt at treating this neglected baby's mange. The result of this ignorant act landed Tina with ACS, and nearly cost this helpless animal her life.
Dr. Matt and his team of veterinarians saved this puppy through a series of hydrotherapy sessions, ointments, and perhaps most importantly, kindness and affection. Tina barely escaped being euthanized, but today she's happy, safe, and living with a new foster family who will help her recover until this sweet pup is paired with a forever home — one that will provide her with all the love she deserves and has probably never known.
It’s sweet dogs like Tina who remind us that animal cruelty is a serious problem in our communities. If you’d like to learn more about Vet Ranch Rescue or how you can save one of these animals in need, please head to their website.
