It's not always clear why pets wind up abandoned in the streets, left without food, water, or shelter. Sometimes their owners are no longer capable of caring for them as a result of financial difficulties, and sometimes their families simply aren't a good fit.
There's no telling what happened to Maggie's family before she wound up with Animal Control Services in Texas, and eventually into the caring hands of the kind people at Vet Ranch Rescue. The Texas ACS worked closely with the Texas Chihuahua Rescue to land her in the care of a shelter that could help treat her badly neglected condition.
Like other rescued pups brought into Vet Ranch, Maggie had two different types of mites that left her skin marred and most of her fur missing. But by the end of multiple laser therapy sessions — paid for in full through donations to the shelter — Maggie was near unrecognizable. She was happy, healthy, and on her way to live with a new, loving family — that's all it took for this dog to find her own slice of happiness.
