He weighed only 19 pounds, little more than a third of what would be considered healthy.  A good Samaritan saved him from the streets, where he would have quickly perished, and brought him to Bossier City Animal Control.

“This poor guy who we’ve named Jude was left on a chain to starve. When he got close to death they cut him loose so they didn’t have to deal with disposing of the carcass,” they said on their Facebook page.  “Despite humans failing him in every way possible, he still wags his tail and gives kisses.”

Jude was taken to Benton Animal Hospital for treatment and recovery.  BCAC’s office manager and rescue coordinator Brittany Hardy said she sees many pit bulls come in in a similar state.

“They’re a great breed, but often used for income and no care for where they end up, and a lot of the time they end up here,” she told the Shreveport Times.

It has taken months of care, but Jude is finally beginning to look like a healthy and happy boy.  He still has a few more pounds to pack on, but one of the staff members recently told me that now he is “doing great.”

After some brief testing, it was determined the dog had mange, which is a skin condition caused by parasitic mites. When rescuers came to take the dog to their rescue center, they were quick to notice that he lacked confidence and kept his head low, as if ashamed of his appearance.

After a month of skin treatments, this pooch finally started living the life he always deserved.

By the end of this video, he’s barely recognizable!

Though squeezing her through caused her to be pinched a little, the team easily managed the task of getting her out.  Once free, she was naturally grateful, and doled out kisses at the rescue group’s home base.

And Animal Aid didn’t just save her once – they did it twice.  She also had mange, which would have eaten her alive had she not been taken in.

This poor pup was recently left to rot and wither away in a rural area of Greece. His skin was covered in mange, he was malnourished, and he even had a fractured leg. Luckily, a local rescue group was there to save him, and he’s now in foster care awaiting his forever home!

His transformation from a sad, weak boy to a healthy, happy companion is inspiring.
