Sick Puppy Dumped at Shelter Makes Miracle Recovery

A sick puppy was left at the shelter. He was an owner surrender. Ralphie was very very sick. He was emaciated and had mange. He could barely walk.

The shelter worker decided to foster him, so she brought him home. For hours he just sat in the bathroom, too sick to move. His foster checked on him throughout the night because he was so sick that she was unsure if he would make it through the night.

She started hand feeding him, and slowly he stood up and then started walking.

After a few weeks, he gained strength and she decided he was ready for adoption.

A wonderful family with three children and one dog adopted him. He now has a playmate and kids to run around and play with.

Ralphie now has a full coat of beautiful black and white fur, and he is so very happy.

Watch this transformation below.
