In a surprising turn of events, even the most experienced rescuers in Donna, Texas, were astonished on Tuesday when a severely tick-infested dog was brought into the remote animal shelter.
This poor puppy had been struggling to survive on the streets of Texas, subjected to such severe neglect that her life hung in the balance. Wandering into the yard of a stranger, a call for help was made to Dallas Dog – Rescue. Rehab. Reform. The situation was dire – she was covered from head to toe with bloodsucking ticks. The infestation was so severe that she was barely visible beneath them, with ticks on her ears, chest, back, and paws.
Named Amora, the dog was swiftly transported to the rescue’s partnering veterinarian. Her condition was labeled as critical, and the dedicated team is working tirelessly to stabilize her health before arranging for her transport to Dallas. The prognosis for Amora remains uncertain.
