Prue with Mission Paws’ible saw a little puppy shaking in the corner of a building. He had lost so much fur from mange that he looked pink from his exposed skin. Prue could see that the pup was cruelly dumped by his owner. How long was the puppy on his own fighting to survive? All that mattered now was that an animal rescuer found him before it was too late!

Since the dog seemed otherwise healthy, Prue brought him home to treat his mange. She noticed that his nails were incredibly long! This was a tell-tale sign that he had been in a cage for a lengthy amount of time. Prue went to work right away. She oiled and shampooed his skin to ease his pain.

A couple was vacationing nearby for several months and offered to foster the dog. They did a fantastic job with him! His fur grew back, and he learned what love truly felt like. The next step was finding this pup a forever home!

A man stepped forward when he saw the dog’s photo online. What follows is magnificent! The pup, now named Romeo, is thriving. We are so grateful for this incredible rescue! Just wait until you see the puppy’s transformation!
