A YouTube subscriber who follows Love Furry Friends online reached out to a dog in his neighborhood, writes ilovemydogsomuch
The poor puppy had been living on a chain outside for five years. She was emaciated and had lost all her hair due to advanced mange. Her owner gave her no food or affection.
The neighbor came by and gave the dog all she could afford… which was stale bread. The sweet dog ate it whole, through the fence, without even chewing. To say he was starving was a huge understatement. The good Samaritan took a video of the poor pup and sent it along with his message. The rescue group promised to help the dog and showed up the next day.
The rescuers were adamant! They would take this dog with them to save her life! They did everything they could to convince the dog’s owner to surrender her. It took hours, back and forth about why the dog needed treatment and they would report her to the authorities if she didn’t surrender her. The owner finally agreed. As they approached the sweet dog, she seemed to understand why they were there.
The sweet girl looked up as if to thank them. They patted her on the head and told her everything would be okay now. They took her off the chain, finally after five years, and loaded her into their vehicle. It was time for a thorough vet check! It was time for a new life and a new name. They chose to call her Lada.
The vet confirmed that she had a terrible type of skin infection caused by fleas. Since she had not been treated for fleas for five years, Lada was really suffering. Thankfully, she was finally in the right hands! As Lada stood on the cot and a rescuer gave her some love, she wagged her tail for the first time. It was definitely a magical moment!
Lada has to stay at the vet clinic for a month. She needs 24/7 care until her weight stabilizes. During that time, Lada learns what it means to be loved. Her new friends visit her every day and are so happy to see her fur growing back and gaining weight. At five years old, she has never known love before, but now her future looks bright!
Soon Lada will be healthy enough to find her forever home. We are so happy that this girl is finally free from her cruel chain and her heartless owner. To watch Lada’s rescue, click play on the video below. Rescuers do everything they can to save as many lives as possible. We need to bring awareness by sharing their stories. We are so happy for Lada, aren’t we?
