There are no words strong enough to fully express the gratitude we feel right now. Because of your support Sugar Belle is alive.
In a disturbing case of cruelty, six-month-old Sugar Belle was left to die, abandoned at a construction site in Mississippi covered in hundreds of ticks, starving and suffering from mange. People walked past her everyday. They saw her and they kept going. What struck us as the most disturbing was that a chain was wrapped around her neck, a haunting reminder that she was once owned.
With your help, we rushed her to a critical care hospital and gave her the fighting chance she never had before.
Doctors worked tirelessly to remove hundreds of engorged ticks from her ears, face, and body. The bath she was in was colored red from all the blood. She’s been dewormed, treated for fleas, and started on powerful IV antibiotics. She’s receiving daily medicated baths to help soothe her burning, infected skin.
Bloodwork confirmed she’s anemic, but thankfully, not yet at the point of needing a transfusion. Her medical team will continue monitoring her PCV levels over the next 48 hours. She’ll remain hospitalized until she’s strong enough to safely move into foster care.
Through it all, every poke, every treatment, every bath, Sugar Belle is showing us that she knows. she’s safe. She knows she’s not invisible anymore. Her eyes are no longer full of defeat they are full of trust.
Sugar Belle’s journey is far from over. Her skin will take weeks, maybe months to repair. But we are committed to her every step of the way.
