Animals are an amazing part of many of our lives. They brighten our days, and — if we treat them well — give us unconditional love and affection.
Whether you have a cat that sasses you to show he cares or a dog that demonstrates affection by gazing soulfully into your eyes, these critters are incredibly special to lots of folks.
Unfortunately, not all humans are dedicated animal-lovers, even if they take on the responsibility of caring for one. While some people do the right thing and surrender their animals to a shelter as soon as they realize that they aren’t good caretakers, many others neglect or abandon these innocent creatures instead, like this sweet pup found half-buried in France.
For animals that require a lot of maintenance and expense, the neglect can be even worse. That’s what happened to Flora, an emaciated thoroughbred horse who was rescued by the MSPCA from a situation of a neglect and abuse.
When the 30-year-old horse arrived at the rehab farm in March of 2015, she was emaciated and covered in sores. Rescuers worried that she might not survive after her ordeal.
But Flora not only survived but thrived, and she is now healthy and more beautiful than ever. Best of all, she even found a forever home with Allison Mankivsky, who saw Flora after her rescue and just couldn’t forget the beautiful, mistreated animal. Learn more about Flora’s story, and watch the moment that she arrives at her new home, in the video below!
