I’ve always wondered what makes an innocent and adorable dog sit next to a garbage can and seek shelter from people.
This is a sad and common example in today’s world. Sometimes a good Samaritan notices the plight of a wanderer and takes action against it.
But we need to think more about how we can do more together to prevent these types of problems from happening more often. In this story I will tell about an abused dog who lived in a garbage can next to a garbage can until someone came to save him.

Stray dog living next to the garbage can
When D and A Animal Rescue of Texas first encountered Chance after being notified of his location, they were shocked to find him in a trash can next to a dumpster. I don’t know how long he lived there, but it was sad to see that cute dog go.
Those who came to help him noticed that he was a little afraid, but at the same time he wanted to help and did not run away from them. Shans was also badly injured and crippled. The rescuers did not know what happened to him, but they came to help.

Those who came to help him noticed that he was a little afraid, but at the same time he wanted to help and did not run away from them. Shans was also badly injured and crippled. The rescuers did not know what happened to him, but they came to help.
He looked completely defeated, but they believed that there was hope for him. He could still lead a normal life.
They placed him in the car and drove straight to the veterinarian clinic in Texas, where they did a full checkup on him, and the results were not great.
He had a spine fracture, which would need surgery sometime in the future. Aside from that, other issues also needed addressing first.
He was so starved that he couldn’t stand on his feet for more than a few seconds. He is going to need constant help and monitoring to help him recover completely.
Chance Is Starting To Change
For that, his rescuers were on board right away. He was taken into foster care by one of the women who saved him.
When he was there, he finally learned what it’s like to be treated right. He had everything, and he was recovering slowly.
Days and weeks went by, and Chance was finally starting to perk up a bit. His tail was wagging almost all the time, and his foster mom just loved him.
However, as time went on, it was now time for his spine surgery. The procedure went fine, but there was a new problem now.
His spine did not heal correctly, and corrective surgery would be way too risky for Chance, so they chose not to do it.
They had to keep him on anti-inflammatory medications regularly. After this, he started his recovery journey.
His foster mom made sure to walk him regularly, and together, they would drove to different places and explore their surroundings.
Chance seemed much happier to be with her, and he was making amazing progress. He grew more confident and even started approaching other people.
Weeks turned into months and this sweet dog completely transformed in the care of his foster mom.
He went from being sick, fragile, and afraid of humans to a sweet and playful dog who just loves being around people.
