(Warning: the pictures may be a little upsetting.)

As I was making my usual rounds at the shelter, I found this poor little Boxer girl cowering in her kennel. Words can't express how pitiful she is. She was starved to the point of near death, severely dehydrated, nails so overgrown she could barely walk, had a couple suspicious growths on her legs, and most horrifically of all, her vulva was torn and swollen and infected. And yet, she still had the ability to love. Angel dogs like these just amaze me sometimes.


(She's a white Boxer but she doesn't have hearing or seeing problems at all)


You might see a little blood on the blankets. That's from her vulva.


She's an angel, I'm sure. *sigh* What a bittersweet Christmas for this little girl.
