Dolly’s Story A local street-dog advocate found this precious girl in one of the most neglected parts of town, Sunnyside, a place known for its deep poverty and heartbreaking suffering. Dolly had been left to die. Matted to the skin, swarming with fleas, and starving, she was barely hanging on. She needed help, and we immediately said yes. Once Dolly was bathed and shaved, the full extent of her condition became clear. She was severely emaciated, weighing under 10 pounds when she should weigh at least 15. Every bone in her back and hips was visible. We started her on a careful re-feeding plan with high-calorie puppy food and added liver and pro-biotics to boost her nutrition. She received a full veterinary exam, but she was too fragile to receive vaccines at that time. Dolly is now slowly — but steadily — gaining weight. She’s been dewormed, and once she’s stronger, she’ll be ready for her spay and dental. She is not housebroken yet, but we are actively working on that. Despite everything she’s endured, Dolly is gentle, loving, and makes the perfect little bed buddy. Her spirit is soft, sweet, and resilient — she just needed someone to care. Dolly’s journey isn’t finished yet, but she is safe, loved, and finally getting the chance she always deserved.  Can you help this girl become the amazing dog she will be?
