This Dog Was Found Extremely Malnourished, A Few Months Later He’s Unrecognizable As He Recovers And Then Finds A Forever Home

ADVERTISEMENT

Without a doubt, one’s dog is certainly the best of friends that you can have. However, as we are continuously exposed to a lot of dog stories on social media, some of them tend to be rather sad, especially the ones revolving around homeless dogs. Thankfully, most of these stories do get a happy ending with the poor pups getting adopted after all of their struggles.

Today, we’d love to share with you the story of Coco who is a charming little dog who unfortunately fell into the hands of bad people.

More info: Facebook

Meet Coco, a dog who was neglected and abandoned on a river bank

It is speculated that Coco was either terribly mistreated by the community or by his so-called “owners” who had just left him to starve

Coco was terribly malnourished to the point where one could see his bones poking through the skin

Coco’s body was extremely thin, it was evident that he hadn’t eaten in a long time as he fought to survive

The dog was covered with fleas and other parasites on top of being extremely weak physically

Luckily enough, Coco was spotted by kind strangers and was then taken to the DELKA Veterinary Hospital in Nuevo León, Mexico where he made a full recovery

As Coco made a slow recovery, he was surrounded by kind people who did their best to help him adapt and feel less scared around strangers

Though Coco is pretty much healthy, he still has to take certain shots to help with the fungal infection he has

Despite all of that, he seems very happy in his new home

Human nature. At its worst, monstrous; at its best, miraculous. I'm glad Coco has found love and kindness with his new family. He has finally come home.

Your articles here are great! I'm trying to help a shelter dog called Caramel to have her story heard. She is a meat trade survivor who has been in the Town of hempstead animal shelter for almost 4 YEARS (insta account for the shelter is @tohanimalshelter and Caramel's own page is @adoptatohasdog) If you can give her a voice it would mean so much for not just her but for all of us that are working to give her the happy ending she deserved all around the world The shelter will love to provide you with pictures and with her whole story. Please help Caramel. Email to the shelter is: adoption@hempsteadny.gov

I feel so happy for Coco! He now has a lovely home and from the pictures he looks like he really enjoys life with his owners!!! But it was so sad that someone just dumped a dog like that. He deserved to have a lovely home because every dog deserves a second chance.

What love and medical care can do, incredible that Coco is the same dog who´s been found when he´s been totally emaciated and sick. #AdoptDontShop.
