Blossom is just one of the many dogs whose life has been transformed by the compassionate efforts of the WOOF Pet Rescue Society in Oklahoma. Her journey began on the porch of a dilapidated house where she had been surviving alone since being abandoned on the streets.
Local community members were the first to notice her plight and contacted the Rescue Society for help.
Attempts by the neighbors to secure her were unsuccessful, as Blossom’s challenging experiences had made her wary and elusive. Erika, a concerned resident, took a particular interest in Blossom, feeding her regularly until she managed to alert the rescue center.
The rescue team’s initial attempt to bring Blossom to safety was met with difficulty. The frightened dog was not cooperative, wary of the strangers trying to help her.
“She was a tough one to catch; she resisted the capture pole and struggled against being placed in the transport box, but once contained, she settled down,” the team shared on their Facebook page.
Upon arriving at the WOOF center, Blossom’s demeanor began to change. “Once at WOOF, she was pleased to be around us. Although still cautious, she seemed relaxed enough to enjoy some human contact,” they noted.
Veterinary doctors diagnosed Blossom with a severe case of mange, but fortunately, it was treatable with proper care.
Following her medical examination, Blossom experienced her first bath, which may have been the first in her lifetime. Initially nervous, she soon began to relish the water, which was beneficial since she required medicinal baths twice a week to heal her skin.
Blossom’s recovery was remarkably swift with the loving attention she received, and she was soon ready for adoption. A family that had been involved in her care at the shelter fell in love with her and decided to give her a forever home.
Now fully healthy, Blossom lives a joyful life, enjoying frequent naps on the couch and playful interactions with her human siblings. She continues to delight in her bath times, a testament to her newfound love for water.
Before you leave, consider sharing Blossom’s inspiring transformation with your friends and family. Her story is a powerful reminder of the difference kindness and dedication can make in an animal’s life.
