Imagine hurting every single day and having no idea why.
Your skin is raw and sore. You’re missing hair all over your body, and you’re so itchy that you keep scratching, even though it only makes everything hurt more. Your eyes are swollen and irritated. You’re uncomfortable, probably exhausted, and you have no idea why any of this is happening to you. You just know that you hurt.
And then, on top of all of that, you find yourself in a strange place, surrounded by unfamiliar sounds, smells, and people. You don’t know why you’re there or what’s going to happen next.
For Pebbles, this isn’t something to imagine. This is what her life looks like right now. 💔
And while she had no way of understanding it, whether she ever got the chance to stop hurting depended on someone choosing to save her.
Pebbles is estimated to be about 5 to 7 years old and was at risk of being euthanized if no one stepped up for her. When we saw her, we knew we couldn’t let her story end there.
Despite everything she is going through, Pebbles is incredibly sweet and social. She has severe hair loss, raw and open skin, suspected mange, a significant skin infection, and swelling and discharge around both eyes. She has already started treatment, but she still has a long road ahead.
It’s also pretty evident that Pebbles has had puppies before, more than likely several litters. We don’t know her history or whether she was used for breeding, but we do know she deserved better than this.
So we said yes. ❤️
Pebbles will be coming to Hope for Life Rescue on Monday, and now she finally gets the chance to start over.
Please consider donating toward Pebbles’ care. She will need continued veterinary care, medications, medicated baths, and plenty of TLC as she heals.
