This dog, later named Blossom, was found in Greece by an OrphanPet volunteer. She was an outcast who had been prowling the streets for several weeks, if not months. The poor puppy was in heart-breaking shape.
The Orphan Pet
She had a chain wire that had been lodged there for some time in her tail. Her tail was incredibly bloated from the chain being so firmly wrapped around it.
The Orphan Pet
She was also coated in thousands of ticks, which only served to worsen the situation.

They performed a blood test and found that the ticks were the reason why her blood was so thin. She wouldn’t have lasted very long if they hadn’t saved her. They were aware that Blossom’s time was limited and that they needed to act quickly to assist her.

After they brought her in, doctors had to amputate her tail and give her a blood transfusion. It took them almost a week to get rid of every last dead tick, despite their best efforts and caution in removing as many of them as they could one by one.
The Orphan Pet
Her metamorphosis is astounding in every way. She is presently in excellent health and has met several new canine companions. The best part is that she got adopted!
The Orphan Pet
She now has a forever home and is appreciating her second opportunity at life. She wouldn’t have lived if this volunteer hadn’t found her and brought her in. God bless these compassionate rescuers at OrphanPet!
