Stray Dog Rescued With Rotting Skin Amazes Everyone With Her Transformation
When you first meet Ebony — a one-year-old Shepherd Mix currently at HannahPearl Rescue in Arizona — you’ll be awestruck by her blue eyes and cheerful spirits. But when you learn about her pitiful past, your favorite thing about her will likely change from her gorgeous eyes to her resilient spirit.
Before she arrived at HannahPearl Rescue earlier this year, Ebony was a stray pup in Mexico who was just a few steps away from the grave. She could barely walk properly, and her painfully visible ribs and sparse fur told the story of a pup ravaged by severe malnutrition. Besides suffering from Mange, a dreaded skin disease, Ebony’s skin was also rotting, both of which caused her unimaginable pain and discomfort.
As fate would have it, Ebony’s dire state caught the attention of CUDDLY, who made the necessary arrangements for her transportation to HannahPearl Rescue.
From Suffering to Relief
While at HannahPearl Rescue, veterinarians carried out a thorough medical examination to determine the full extent of Ebony’s health woes. Their hearts ached when they discovered her alarmingly low blood platelet count, besides other underlying issues.
Thankfully, the gravity of Ebony’s issues fueled their determination to reverse the cruel hand of suffering that was upon her and restore her to full health. Ebony underwent extensive treatment and, under the vigilant care of the HannahPearl Rescue team, slowly started to regain her health.
Unrecognizable Ebony
Looking at Ebony now, you’d not believe that she is the same dog who had reached the end of the rope health-wise a couple of months ago.
Much of her fur has grown back, her skin has healed, and she explores her surroundings with vigor, unlike before. The genuine happiness and gratitude on her face are a pleasure to witness. Staff at the shelter can’t get enough of her vibrant character, affectionate nature, how lovely she looks when she runs around with a stuffed toy in her mouth, and how seriously she takes playtime with other dogs. Seeing her full of life makes all those who were involved in her rescue glad that they took a chance on her. As Pet Rescue Advocate Rocky Kanaka once said, “The satisfaction of providing a second chance to a pup in need is beyond rewarding.”
The only thing remaining to make Ebony’s newfound happiness complete is a forever person who’ll adore her for a lifetime.
