When one first lays eyes on Suzie, it’s hard to discern that beneath the matted fur and neglect lies a spirited dog. “I’ve never seen a dog this bad,” remarked Rocky Kanaka, pet rescue advocate, recounting how Animal Control had to intervene immediately upon discovering her. Suzie’s condition was so dire that Mel, the dedicated shelter groomer, was called in for an urgent assessment. (Video Is Above)

Dog Grooming - Suzie - Spider-Infested Fur

A Heartbreaking Reality

Mel’s response was deeply emotional. “That’s horrible,” she said, emphasizing the gravity of Suzie’s condition. The situation was so critical that Mel believed sedation was the safest option for Suzie’s grooming. “I run a risk of hurting her,” she admitted, highlighting the challenges ahead.

A Shocking Discovery

But the surprises didn’t end there. The staff made a startling discovery: spiders had made a home in Suzie’s matted fur. “Sometimes they’ll lay eggs,” Mel revealed, expressing her disbelief.

A Transformation to Remember

Despite her condition, Suzie’s spirit was unbroken and her playful nature shone through. And then came the moment everyone had been waiting for. Rocky presented Suzie’s transformation, and the difference was nothing short of miraculous. “She doesn’t even look like the same dog,” he marveled, acknowledging the tears of joy at the shelter. “I’ve never seen such a spectacular transformation.”

Suzie Needs A Forever Home

Rocky extended heartfelt gratitude to Mel and Animal Friends of the Valleys for their incredible work. But Suzie’s journey isn’t over yet. She’s still in search of a forever home. “Make sure you share this,” Rocky urged, mentioning iCare Rescue’s role in pulling her from the shelter. “Hit that follow button, and I’ll keep everyone updated.”
