Working in an animal shelter must be incredibly challenging, often filled with heartbreak. Yet, it’s not always a dark experience. There are many joyful moments when dogs and cats recover, growing stronger than ever before.
In the case of a poor puppy recently abandoned by her owner, hope shone through the darkness. The owner left her at the shelter, claiming he could no longer care for her. Initially confused by his story of a car accident, the shelter staff quickly sprang into action to help. WATCH VIDEO BELOW
After receiving the puppy, they wasted no time scheduling a veterinarian appointment. While transporting her, they noticed something was amiss. The owner’s account of an accident didn’t match the puppy’s condition—there were no visible signs of injury. An X-ray revealed no broken bones, and her blood tests came back normal. So what was really happening? The staff observed that her neck tilted to one side, prompting them to conduct an MRI to uncover the truth.
The MRI results showed she suffered from cerebral edema and cortical atrophy, conditions likely present from birth. It became clear that her owner had abandoned her, unwilling to provide the care she needed. At just four to five months old, the puppy had received little medical attention for her health issues. But the shelter staff and veterinarians were determined to help her live a normal life. WATCH VIDEO BELOW
The vets concluded that the puppy would likely need surgery, but she first required rehabilitation. To help her feel more comfortable, they provided toys, which she delighted in playing with. Over time, she even made a new friend at the shelter, gradually warming up to him. After further examination, the vets diagnosed her with autoimmune meningitis and pitting encephalopathy. Although these conditions couldn’t be cured, they could be managed with long-term care. Water therapy was introduced to help her walk more steadily.
Then came the good news: after tests, the vets determined that the puppy wouldn’t need surgery. Her therapy was proving effective, bringing hope to everyone involved. One of the rescuers took the puppy, now named Vesta, into her home, where she began to enjoy a new life filled with love and care. It’s heartwarming to see how far she has come, and I’m grateful for the happy ending she deserves. WATCH VIDEO BELOW
