We rescued ours - Charlie (for King Charles) - after he was left tied outside a shelter. He had horrible allergies, was skin and bone and bare skin from his chest on back. I'm happy to say he now is fully furry and the right weight AND a great dog! We can still see times when its like he has flashbacks to the bad times but he doesn't get any of those here.

I had a similar foster with Tito. The poor darling was about in as good a shape of Georgie. After a year and a half he's now in his forever home. I get regular updates on him and just like Georgie he's a different and happy boy. For Halloween he donned his turtle costume and went to a nursing home w/his new mom. How's that for giving back? Great work, Ann! As a fellow dog rescuer I can certainly relate. I had a similar foster with Tito. The poor darling was about in as good a shape of Georgie.

I saw this boy through his travails along with you and it's so heartwarming to see how he's blossomed into a much loved and quite loving pet. You gave him the chance at life he wouldn't otherwise had. Thanks so much. Carolyn Beautifully written Ann and what a great story.
