After all the time I’ve spent in this world, I still find myself amazed when it comes to dogs, but even more when it comes to their owners.
I didn’t always realize that neglect can have a negative impact not only on a pup’s mental state, but also on their physical health. Neglecting the dog in this story caused a lot of problems, but fortunately his story was evolving for the better.
Years of neglect
When a good Samaritan found a furry animal in someone else’s garden, he had a hard time figuring out what it was. But he soon came to the conclusion that it was a very confused dog who had been neglected for years and was in desperate need of help.
So a good Samaritan called for help, and a rescue team headed to the scene to figure out how to save the poor pup. When they arrived, they were shocked by the dog’s appearance and realized he had never been to a groomer before. That’s how confused he was.
I can’t even begin to imagine just how much torture, pain, and neglect he went through throughout his life. It’s absolutely sickening that somebody would do something like this.
Now that they could do something about it, the rescuers took this dog, now named Charlie, into their car and back into the shelter so they could help him.
He was now safe with his rescuers, and they were not about to give up on this sweet pup. Once he was settled in, it was time for a grooming appointment.
A Brand-New Look For Charlie
It’s safe to say that anyone who saw his fur was shocked by just how big it was and how long he had endured living like this.
But, there was no more time to think about that. His rescuers took him to the groomers and they managed to shave his matted fur completely.
When the woman looked down on the floor to see how much fur was there, she still couldn’t believe it. Even looking at it felt painful.
Charlie now looked like a completely transformed dog. He was completely unrecognizable from before and you could even see the relief on his face.
It was like the weight of the entire world was lifted from him and now he could finally live a normal life.
Now that the groomer’s appointment was over, he still needed a nice, warm bath and a veterinarian checkup.
He enjoyed finally being clean, and fell asleep pretty fast after the bath. At the vet, any unaddressed problem was taken care of.
Charlie was now a healthy and sweet-looking dog who will soon be looking for a new family to take care of him.
When it came time for it, his rescuers signed him up on the adoption list, and now, all he has to do is wait.
Until then, he is in great care with his rescuers who are tending to his every need. Charlie receives lots of cuddles, food, and gets to play with other dogs.
We don’t yet know if he was adopted into a new family, but I think it’s only a matter of time for this adorable little dog.
