A dog was found in horrible condition, as a lifetime of neglect left her with severely matted fur and dead skin. But with a little love, she has made an incredible transformation… ❤️
On October 21, Gulf Coast Humane Society, in Corpus Christi, Texas, announced they had taken in a dog named Trixie who was transferred from Corpus Christi Animal Care Services.
The dog was reportedly found hiding, and was in terrible shape: she had completely matted fur, a severe buildup of dried, dead skin, and the poor dog had scratched herself so much that her skin was pink and bleeding.
“Trixie being as young as she is, her conditions show the duration of neglect she endured before coming into our care,” Gulf Coast Humane Society wrote on Facebook.
While it was a heartbreaking sight, they pledged that the sweet dog would go
“from pain to comfort, from fear to love, and from the shelter to a forever home where she’ll never feel this kind of suffering again.”
With the help from donations from supporters, the humane society gave Trixie the love and care she had so long been denied. And over time, she began to heal and her true beauty began to shine through.
On October 30, the rescue shared an update. With her matted fur removed, her skin healing and even some hair beginning to grow back, Trixie looked like a whole new dog:
“Trixie’s transformation isn’t just physical; you’ve given her a new outlook on life,” the humane society wrote. “She’s discovering comfort and love for the very first time, and we know that one day, she’ll have a forever home where she’ll never have to endure this kind of suffering again.”
Trixie continues to recover and it seems like she isn’t up for adoption quite yet, but many people online were amazed and inspired by her progress so far.
“She looks like she feels so much better already,” one person commented.
“She looks amazing!” another wrote.
“What a beautiful girl. I want her.”
What a stunning transformation — it’s incredible what a difference a little love and care can make to a dog in need. Please share this story! ❤️
