From the onset of her existence, it appeared that everything was spiraling downward for Kiva right from the moment of her arrival.
Initially separated from her mother, she found herself without anyone to seek assistance from.
Nothing seemed to be working out for her, and each passing day brought her closer to illness. Her physical condition deteriorated, and she appeared distressing.
Swift intervention was crucial for her survival. In this narrative, we will discuss the compassionate individuals who discovered her and chose to offer her a fresh opportunity.
Kiva’s Struggles
Upon the first alert to the rescuers at Lightshine Canine in South Dakota, they could not foresee the dire condition Kiva was in.
She was gravely ill and severely malnourished, to the extent that she couldn’t move at all. Cautiously, they approached her, not wanting to frighten her further.
It was evident that her skin issues stemmed from scabies, necessitating immediate treatment.
They transported her back to the shelter to ensure she could warm up and have a chance to recover. Although still a bit apprehensive, she perceived that she was in caring hands.
I can hardly imagine the ordeal she endured to become so frightened of her surroundings.
The veterinarians confirmed that she was merely a few months old, which was difficult to comprehend given her poor state.
Following two weeks of care, her condition significantly improved. She began to regain her health, and her fur started to grow back.
Her typically timid and fearful demeanor shifted, and she became much more trusting of her rescuers.
Kiva’s Closest Companion
She was welcomed into a lovely household in South Dakota, where she has continued to heal and is now acclimating to a dramatically different atmosphere.
Among her favorite activities is playing in the yard and socializing with other dogs.
They all interact wonderfully, greatly benefiting Kiva, as she had yet to grasp how to socialize properly.
Nevertheless, her life took an even brighter direction when she encountered her best friend, Flynn. The two became practically inseparable.
They bore a similar tale and shared considerable suffering until someone came to their aid.
Fortunately, all those days of hardship are now a thing of the past. They can finally savor their existence and are making the most of their time together.
They embark on excursions, exploring the vast greenery available to them. In winter, Kiva and Flynn are the first to rush outside to revel in the snow.
Even though both dogs faced significant challenges early on in life, it is remarkable to witness how well they have bounced back and embraced an entirely new chapter.
