A dog was just days away from being put down when a woman saw her photo online and decided to step in to save her. Chelsea Elizabeth Cossairt was the one responsible for giving the furry friend a second chance when it was thought all was lost.
She was completely disoriented, malnourished and plunged into sadness and desolation. She had so many health problems that her rescuers decided to take her to death row and put her to sleep.
Her first caregiver explained to her that the dog’s health was quite delicate, she had a long road to recovery but that her fate was completely uncertain. Even so, Cossairt was willing to adopt her and help her heal her physical, but above all, emotional wounds.
“Clementine was absolutely terrified of people and wouldn’t look anyone in the eye. She was shaking all the time, hiding behind furniture and sitting facing the wall. Her eyes were defeated and empty. She never looked us in the face and would bow her head whenever we walked towards or near her.”
Fortunately, Clementine trusted other dogs, so when she arrived at her new home she approached them and slowly came out of her shell. Moose and Maple, other rescued furry friends, became her great support. They seemed to inject her with small doses of energy and that sad dog was becoming a thing of the past.
For months, Clementine faced a long recovery process, constant visits to the vet, she received special treatment for infections and allergies, she also attended therapy. She seemed to recognize that everything was improving and that she was in the best hands, finally, she dared to look her adoptive parents in the eyes.
This beautiful little dog has undergone an incredible transformation; she has become a curious and happy little furry animal, it is as if she were experiencing all those stages that she did not have when she was a puppy.
Only true love can transform the hardest of hearts. We love knowing that this adorable furball enjoys a real family and spends her days being loved.
