Blossom, the dog, was discovered by an OrphanPet volunteer in Greece. She had been a stray for weeks, if not months, and had been wandering the streets. The poor dog was in awful shape.
Her tail had a chain wire lodged in it that had been there for a long time. Her tail grew enormously bloated as a result of the chain being so firmly wrapped around it.
They gave her a blood transfusion and ended up having to amputate her tail after bringing her in. They worked deliberately and painstakingly to remove as many ticks as they could one by one, but it took them nearly a week to remove every single dead tick.
She’s now settled into her forever home and enjoys her second shot at life. She would not have survived if this volunteer hadn’t found her and brought her in. Thank god for OrphanPet’s kind rescuers!
