This is Rescue

This is the look of a boy who arrived covered in ticks…

dangerously anemic and suffering from two tick-borne diseases.

Whose owner said he couldn’t be bothered with him anymore…

and whose  neighbor and rescue angel convinced him to let the boy go.

This is the face of gratitude and budding trust.

And this is the face of a transformed dog just five days later.

This is rescue.

And when we witness these transformations, there is no better feeling in the world.

  1. His almost human-like emotions are deeply touching. I’m so glad he has a new, happy life and a loving future to look forward to.

  2. Thank you ALL for what you do for these precious angels! To see the changes in their eyes when they know they are safe, when they feel better, and feel loved, is just wonderful to witness. Truly heartwarming! ❤

  3. Oh, that sweet, sweet smile.
    I don’t even want to think about the kind of person who ‘cannot be bothered’ with a handsome boy like this. Bless the rescue angel neighbor for sending him your way.

  4. God bless the neighbor and HB staff for transforming giving this beautiful boy a new lease on life🙏🐾🐾💖

  5. Just like Molly – they learn to pet you. So wonderful the work done at Homeward Bound. Our girl is doing very well. Still a little problem with food.

    We will get there with the help of a vet.

    Thank all at HB, Carol
