When an animal needs to take care of herself, everything comes to be more difficult, especially staying safe and healthy, composes PawMypet.com Homeless animals emulate hunger, direct exposure to the elements, illness, and even fights with other strays.

One canine was found all on her very own lying near the entrance to a 7-11. She found a place where she really felt safe, by the front step, and passed out.

Thankfully, a kind human saw the canine and called a rescue organization instantly. The woman waited with the dog till help arrived. The poor puppy was so depleted that she could not even wake up. Her face was swollen, likely from a bite from another animal. It is unclear if it was from another roaming dog or cat that fought her for food or if it was from an encounter with a starving wild animal.

Some incredible news followed for the deserving puppy, which you can see in the video clip below. We love a pleased ending!

The rescue ambulance brought up soon after. The woman that found the dog was so relieved to see them! These animal rescuers were incredible! They had their very own state-of-the-art car, uniforms, and lots of tools in case an animal required urgent intervention. The rescuers called the vet clinic and told them they were bringing a canine, that remained in bad shape, straight over.

Once they loaded the dog into the ambulance, they gave her IV fluids. This assisted tremendously! When they arrived at the clinic, the dog had perked up a little bit and was able to walk from the crate right into the test room. She proved that she was disoriented and had never been inside a building before. She walked directly right into the glass windows. But luckily she didn’t hurt herself.

The dog, who was so sweet and calm, was after that set up on the exam table. The initial liquids had worn away and she lapsed back into a semi-conscious state. This, obviously, upset the veterinarian. He placed an IV back in and provided her more fluids. The veterinarian also administered pain medication. The physician thinks that the wound on her face was so painful that it caused the dog to go into shock.

The tired dog defended her life. Her bloodwork came back and she had an infection. Things were touch and go but thankfully with successful antibiotics and 10 days at the center, the canine improved drastically.
