She wasnβt noticed by busy staff at first, but when they did notice her quietly curled on a chair they knew she was in grave condition.
She had a severe case of mange, with open wounds around her ears.
They named her Fairy and she welcomed the medical care and attention she was getting.
βShe has been an extremely patient and happy dog,β Sengupta said. βAfter the second day at the boarding kennel, she immediately trusted the volunteers and patiently had a bath every single week. After her recovery, we realized what a happy and friendly dog she was.β
HSI has ongoing initiatives to help stray and helpless dogs across the globe, such as their Street Dog Welfare program and their program to help free dogs caught up in the dog meat trade.
Fairy has been one of the benefactors, spending three months at their shelter before she caught the attention of a family interested in adopting her.
Whether it was fate, or chance, or Fairyβs smarts, she ended up in exactly the right place for help. And her transformation and life now is nothing short of remarkable.
