A Heartbreaking Discovery
Poodle and Pooch Rescue of Florida received a distressing call about a dog in dire need of help. The dog was so severely matted that her body was unrecognizable.
The rescue team, determined to help, launched a social media plea for a groomer willing to take on the challenging task. The response was overwhelming, with several groomers offering their assistance.
A Herculean Effort
Kristie, Shannon, and Megan from As The Tail Wags Grooming and Training generously volunteered their time to transform Loretta. The matting was so severe that it restricted her movement and caused skin irritation.
After hours of careful grooming, Loretta emerged as a completely different dog. Her matted fur was removed, revealing her true form. She was now free to move and enjoy life without the burden of the restrictive coat.
A Road to Recovery
Loretta’s journey to recovery didn’t end with the grooming. She was diagnosed with hookworms, arthritis, and heartworm disease. However, with the love and care of her foster family and medical treatment, she is on the mend.
Loretta’s story is a testament to the power of community and compassion. The rescue team, groomers, and foster family worked tirelessly to give her a second chance at life. Their efforts have transformed Loretta from a suffering animal to a happy and healthy pup.
