It’s so sad when dogs have to fend for themselves to survive. It’s usually the homeless dogs that suffer the most. It’s wonderful that more and more people are becoming aware of a stray dog’s situation which prompted rescues and adoptions.
A dog was found wandering in the streets of New Orleans severely emaciated. He was found and rescued by the Southern Animal Foundation. Just one look and they knew the dog needs medical attention, fast. The dog was later named by his rescuers Alex. After laboratory examinations were performed, the medical professionals saw that Alex has been eating rocks and twigs to keep the hunger at bay.
All the people around him were devastated with the findings and vowed Alex would never have to eat rocks and twigs to live.
In the video below, you will see Alex’s amazing transformation, but not before looking at his photo on the day that he was rescued. He was starved to death and so thin. He was nervous around people and scared most of the time.
Look at the huge difference. Alex is barely recognizable on his second photo. It was the medical attention he received as well as the love and affection from his foster family that Alex transformed into a beautiful dog full of hope.
Alex’s foster mom, Diane, fell in love with the unruly dog that she decided to keep him for good. Alex gained 10 pounds in his first ten days living with Diane which is truly incredible progress. The rescue helped changed Alex life. He was given a second chance to live a life of comfort and happiness.
What’s more, Alex didn’t only have a loving home to call his own, but he has two other doggy brothers to care for. According to Diane Alex is the peacekeeper for the two active dogs.
We can only imagine the happiness Alex felt that he will never be hungry again and that he has a family that loves him unconditionally.
Thanks to all the people who continually strive to make a change in many dogs’ life.
