Before & Afters

Phoenix came to us as with a very severe burn to his head and neck. He was found by the Brownsville Animal Shelter early one morning left in the dog park by their facility, he was only about 8 weeks old. It was then discovered that what had burnt him was hot cooking oil that was accidentally thrown on him by an unknown person. He was rushed to Arroyo Animal Clinic were Dr. Shelly Mitchell assessed his wounds to find out the burns were about 4 days old and Phoenix would have to have his wounds cleaned, dressed and managed every day for 3 weeks. Below shows his progress from day 1 to week 3 of his intensive care.
Little Mr. Phoenix recovered very well and now only has a small bald spot where his burn used to be. He met a very special family while in recovery and he stole their heart in a matter of second, he even gave them a nibble on the nose as if he had chose them too. They patiently waited for his health to allow him to be re-homed and now he is spending his time at hs new second chance home with two siblings to teach him the ropes.
Phoenix had another trip to the vet with his new pup parents for a wellness check and some other health issues were discovered. He had an old break in one of his limbs  that was never treated but healing that was months old and he is bow legged which can make for some growing pains. This can be caused by irresponsible breeding. This is why we ask to Spay & Neuter your pets, Adopt Don't Shop and please do your research before buying an unvetted, unvaccinated puppy on Facebook or Craigslist.
Hansel and Gretel were first posted on social media by a concerned neighbor of the dogs owners. They were then surrendered to The Harlingen Humane Society by the original owners extremely matted and filthy. We had to anesthetize both of them because their matted fur was very paniful as it was starting to grow around itself and pull on their already aching irritated skin.
Before and after their clinic grooming Hansel and Gretel were tested and both were positive for heartworms and will get treated for them prior to adoption. The sight of these two dogs is no fault of their own and is purely intended neglect. They are also very scared, timid and not used to human contact at all. Hansel and Gretel are still in foster care with us getting the proper behavioral rehibilitaion while they await a new home of their own where they can learn how to trust humans again.

We would like to say Thank You to Lee Stabenau from Arroyo Animal Hospital Grooming for taking on the enormous task of grooming some of our shelter rescues! Sometimes we barely have time to brush our own hair so this task is something that is greatly needed for the severely matted  and filthy doggies that make their way to our rescue. Her amazing work is featured below. If you like what you see Lee will be grooming at Arroyo Animal Hospital on Tuesdays 8am-6pm (956) 428-4002
