Abandoned and left in a cardboard box, Jodie, a weary dog, faced a bleak future until the Dumaguete Animal Sanctuary rescue team stepped in. Their relentless efforts turned Jodie’s story into a tale of resilience and hope.

Upon discovering Jodie, the rescue team acted swiftly, providing immediate treatment for the exhausted canine. Jodie’s rescuer had been caring for her, only to find her in a dire state.

Determined to make a difference, he brought her to the sanctuary and committed to adopting her once she recovered.

Jodie’s journey to recovery was challenging, marked by numerous health issues. Initial blood tests revealed a low red blood cell count and a high infection level, although her liver and kidneys were in good shape. The rescue team administered IV fluids, iron supplements, and antibiotics to combat the infections.

After five days of treatment, Jodie displayed the first positive signs of recovery. She continued her regimen of IV fluids and antibiotics while resting comfortably.

Two weeks later, her skin had healed, and her hair started growing back. Despite initial difficulty walking, daily physical therapy sessions aided in regaining her strength.

Twenty-four days post-rescue, Jodie was almost fully recovered. Her skin had cleared, and therapy addressed her injured leg. Witnessing Jodie’s transformation from a weak, suffering dog to a happy, carefree soul was heartwarming.

Two months after her rescue, Jodie was a different dog—healthy, strong, and ready for adoption. This miraculous turnaround stands as a testament to the Dumaguete Animal Sanctuary rescue team’s unwavering dedication and care.

Their commitment not only saved Jodie from abandonment but also gave her a chance at a new, loving home.
