A canine: abandoned, facing death.
How tragic does this seem?
Regrettably, this is the painful reality for countless dogs out there that depart from their caregivers in the most brutal manner imaginable.
One such narrative emerges from California, where a small, one-year-old pup was on the verge of facing the unavoidable. Severely underweight and neglected, little Reese found herself in an overcrowded shelter, just days away from euthanasia.
Through no fault of her own, she was condemned to the direst possible outcome – until she encountered her saviors!
Rescued At The Last Possible Instant
Reese completely withdrew after being taken to a local shelter. Fearful and bewildered by her surroundings and people, all she desired was a kind soul to show her compassion.
Fortunately, thanks to the generous individuals of Wags and Walks Rescue in Los Angeles, California, her wish was soon fulfilled!
She was rescued at the final moment, given that she was in a crowded shelter lacking the means to care for her or to address any of her health issues (and there were many).
Though merely one year old, Reese appeared to be an elderly dog who had endured a harsh existence. Her severe mange resulted in open sores throughout her body. Additionally, she had a puncture wound in her eye from a bite, and she was drastically undernourished.
“At just 1-year-old Reese has faced unimaginable neglect. She is skin and bones, suffering from painful, advanced mange and infections,” W&W shared in an Instagram post.
Her rescuers were unable to conceal their heartbreak after observing Reese in such deplorable shape. She had been utterly neglected her entire life, and it appeared she had never experienced the gentle touch of a human.
That’s why the entire team resolved to assist her, and soon, they located the perfect foster home for her.
Now, She Sports The Trendiest PJ’s
The duo, Walker and Rebecca, embraced Reese into their residence with open arms!
Thanks to the outstanding community of individuals who contributed to Reese’s healing journey, this resilient girl began feeling much better in a remarkably short time.
“She is safe with us now and we’re excited to share that she’s healing swiftly, gaining weight and on the path to a full recovery! We are incredibly grateful for this fantastic community’s backing and Reese’s wonderful foster family,” the rescue posted on Instagram.
However, the true spectacle began when Reese finally came out of her shell! Totally unexpectedly, she transformed into a fashion icon and the most adorable PJ’s model ever!
Although it initially started as a part of her recovery (she had to wear PJs to safeguard her skin), Reese captivated everyone with her stylish appearance. And, boy, did she look fabulous!
Walker and Rebecca provided this little darling with an array of fashionable ensembles so she wouldn’t need to shop – ever again (but I’m quite certain that won’t happen).
On top of all that, she became the family’s sweetest cuddle buddy. She adores settling in her humans’ laps and savoring time there, relishing cuddles that she missed out on previously.
The Most Adorable Update
Just a couple of months after she discovered her way to her caregivers, Reese was granted the most wonderful gift ever!
An incredible family contacted W&W with a single desire — to provide this girl with a forever home.
The rescue shared an Instagram update, announcing this amazing news to Reese’s large community.
“Tonight she’s in her forever home with a remarkable, loving family who adores her as much as she truly deserves,” they posted.
Reese now enjoys the best possible life, alongside humans and a doggy sibling who cherish her immensely. She finally embarks on numerous thrilling adventures without the fear of being abandoned yet again.
And, the most delightful aspect? She continues to flaunt her adorable outfits!
