Tiny Ears Suffer Burns
Upon arriving at the shelter, the tiny puppy was rushed to the ICU, where vets made a heartbreaking discovery: her delicate ears had been burned. Despite this grim finding, there was a silver lining—she was now safe, resting comfortably in an incubator.
The puppy has also secured a loving foster home, where she will go after her critical recovery period. Once she regains her strength, she’ll be ready for adoption and a chance at the happy ending she so deserves.
