Homeless dogs don’t often look much rougher than this. This poor 1-year-old was disease ridden and starving. After being picked up, she was put on the “to-be-euthanized” list. However, the dog’s fate was about to do a turnaround.
A once-beautiful husky-cross was picked up off the street in Palm Valley, Texas. Named Skye, she had lost most of her fur because of mange, and also had a tick disease.
Stacy Silverstein, co-founder of Rescue Dogs Rock NYC, understood right away that they needed to act immediately.
They got Skye that very day and took her for a vet check before looking after her until a foster home became available. Fortunately, they found a temporary foster home in Texas for Skye while she recovered.
After a few weeks, another foster home was found in New York—this was Skye’s next lucky break.
“She [the mom] has got little kids and little dogs, and she [Skye] just kind of fit in perfectly, like it was meant to be … She’s an incredible dog.”
Just look at her now with her thick white coat. Who wouldn’t want her to be a part of their family?
Silverstein summed it up best: “We took this dog who was on death’s door, and look at her now. She’s gorgeous, stunning … and having the most amazing life.”
Thank goodness for such caring people in the world; they are just like guardian angels to many unfortunate animals.
