Curled Up In The Forest
In the dense woods of Mississippi, a feeble Pitbull named Halo was discovered. She was a pitiful sight, curled up and barely clinging to life. The rescuers who found her were expecting a ferocious dog but were instead met with a heartbreaking scene.
Halo was not dangerous at all; she was blind, starved, and miserably neglected. Her condition was so severe that she seemed ready to surrender to her fate if help hadn’t arrived in time.
Stacey and her husband, Mike, prominent figures in the rescue community, played a crucial role in her rescue. It was Stacey who often gave dogs a second chance at the Lucky Dog Refuge shelter in Stamford, Connecticut.
When Halo was first seen, she was nothing more than skin and bones. Stacey and Mike managed to coax her out of the woods using food, but her state was alarming.
The Road To Recovery
Halo’s journey to recovery was uncertain, prompting Stacey to name her with hope. Against all odds, Halo survived and began her healing process.
Stacey took Halo home and started her on antibiotics and a nutritious diet. There were moments of doubt, but Halo proved to be a fighter.
The extent of her blindness was confirmed by a vet, though she could perceive shadows. Jessica from Lucky Dog Refuge mentioned, “She’ll just walk right into a telephone pole.”
With Stacey’s care, Halo experienced love for the first time. She was finally treated with kindness, and her happiness was evident. It took months, but she eventually recovered enough to be moved to Connecticut.
Halo Found A Forever Home
Upon arriving at the rescue, Halo was a transformed dog, full of joy. The shelter staff discovered her love for ice cream, and it became a delightful part of her routine.
Jessica shared, “She lets us know every day that she’s grateful for everything that she has now. She’s just an angel.”
Despite her progress, Halo still needed a permanent home. Then, the wonderful news came – Halo found her perfect forever home where she could thrive.
To make things even better, her new family also adopted her best friend from the shelter, Layne. Now, Halo and Layne are living their best lives together. Enjoy your new life, Halo, you deserve it!
