All her life, Gina longed for one thing—love. Sadly, she never received it. Instead, she spent her days in a filthy cage, surrounded by her own waste and rotten food. After ten years of such inhumane conditions, Gina was a shadow of her former self. So when her neighbor saw her again after a long time, she was overcome with emotion. The neighbor couldn’t believe someone could treat a dog this way. Once a majestic white dog with bright, happy eyes, Gina was now severely emaciated, weighing only half of her ideal weight.
Without hesitation, the neighbor called local rescuers, who arrived within minutes. After hearing Gina’s story, a compassionate woman convinced Gina’s owner to let her go. She took Gina into her car, offering her a chance at a new life. As they drove away, Gina felt a mix of excitement and confusion. Her body was so weak that she could barely manage a small smile.

Once home, Gina’s new owner realized that the rescue would require immediate medical attention. Aside from her malnourishment, Gina was in poor health, raising serious concerns. She struggled to open her mouth and had lost her appetite completely. She could barely sit up, showing little strength. At her first vet appointment, Gina’s new owner received devastating news: the sweet dog was diagnosed with a malignant tumor in her middle ear, causing her health to deteriorate rapidly.
Fluids were accumulating in her ear, and the tumor was opening up on her cheek, causing Gina excruciating pain. The only option to extend her life was surgery followed by multiple rounds of chemotherapy. However, both were costly, with no guaranteed outcome. Despite the challenges, Gina’s new mom decided to take the risk. She was determined to do everything possible for her sweet girl. Gina underwent a complicated surgery that required 24/7 intensive care at the clinic. CONTINUE STORY BELOW
With IVs and drains placed in her cheek and neck, this resilient girl received all the love and care possible. Her mom visited daily, offering gentle words and pets to comfort Gina. Against all odds, it worked! Gina gradually began to improve, though chemotherapy took a toll on her body. Despite losing her fur and with her surgical wound not fully healed, she found hope resting on her mom’s shoulder.
Her appetite also returned, especially for grilled chicken! Her caregivers were thrilled to discover this and made sure to bring her some as a treat after her chemo sessions. Knowing Gina’s life had been filled with suffering, her new mom is committed to providing her with a life of love and care. After everything she’s endured, Gina deserves golden years filled with cherished memories. CONTINUE STORY BELOW
