Dog Who Was So Weak Everyone Thought She’s Gonna Die Recovers In Less Than 2 Months
Hidreley Pro member
Early in November, a couple noticed an unfamiliar dog roaming the streets of South Texas neighborhood. Weak, severely malnourished, with skin ravaged by mange, the pup was dire need of help. The couple tried to coax her for a while, but the poor pooch was too scared and refused to be caught. Ana, as she was named later, finally found help a week later and she was immediately taken to the vet’s office. Looking past the horrible scabs, the people who rescued her find out that she’s only about a year or two old. As her health was in an extremely poor condition, Ana’s chances were very low, and even the founder of Rescue Dogs Rock NYC, Stacey Silverstein, didn’t raise her hopes up.

“This poor girl was in really bad shape when we got to her…she was very emaciated, her skin and eyes infected, and her spirit diminished.” Rescue Dogs Rock NYC representative reported.
“She had severe mange and her skin was raw. You couldn’t tell her breed, and you could barely tell anything about her except that she lived through a lot of neglect.” Leslie Ysuhuaylas, a Texas-based volunteer told Bored Panda. With such terrible damage to her health and the neglect she had endured, it was no wonder that Ana was shy and reluctant.
Though despite all odds and shaky prognosis, Ana clung to life with her poor raw paws and soon proved everyone who had doubts wrong. The dog bounced back like nothing ever happened. Once her ailments were treated and she had people who took care of her, the days of neglect and apathy from humans were quickly forgotten.
“After just a few weeks of medical care and TLC from vet staff and her foster, Ana is feeling so much better and looking amazing!! Her hair has come back in full force and she has transformed into a happy and playful girl!” the page for Ana’s adoption explained.
Ana came out of her shell to blossom into a beautiful young pup. With her fur finally growing back, her rescuers eventually determined that she’s a Labrador Retriever mix. The representatives from RDRNYC wish her all the best, saying “after what Ana has endure, she is so deserving of the most amazing forever home. We can’t wait to see her spoiled and loved unconditionally! She is adorable, sweet, and friendly with people of all ages and other dogs”
As Ana’s in good health and has undergone treatment, she’s being moved from Texas to New York, where Rescue Dogs Rock NYC will be putting her up for adoption to, hopefully, quickly find the pooch a forever home.
People responded to Ana’s story and her transformation with full support

Just another reason to ADOPT and not SHOP! <3
Yes I agree 100% !!!
Yes, but at the same time, the pets in the pet stores also need homes too. It's not their fault that people are making a profit with them. My dog was adopted, but I'm all for giving pets loving homes, whether through adoption or a pet store. We should all be on the same team :)
The pet store pups wouldn't be bred in the first place if people didn't buy them.
It is said that the dogs in pet stores are from puppy mills, unfortunately, if you buy one it adds to the problem as the mills will continue to breed, we can't win !!!
While this is true Brian, unfortunately it keeps those shitty breeders in business. If that attitude continues and everyone buys them, the puppy mill breeders will continue that evil. Also dogs from puppy mills come with a lot of problems historically, and many of them die before they ever make it to the store. The mothers are over bred and are often thrown out when the breeders are done with them anyway. They need exposed and put out of business, and then local rescues can step in. Some pet stores get dogs from local rescues but many get theirs from mills and it's horrible. Easy to find out which ones are the bad ones. The conditions of the animals of those kinds of breeders would make you sick
If the ones in shops aren't sold they'll end up euthanized just like the rest..
It's great to know that there are good people out there.
Many good people still exist in the World !!
Yes, there are some good people however, we need people to help before the horrendous suffering, the dog that survived could have belonged to a neglectful owner, or dumped from a puppy mill !!!
I don't understand why the one picture had a "you must be 18 years of age" warning on it. The picture was no more or less disturbing than the other pictures of the poor dog.
