Can you believe the dog in these photos is the same one?🥺

This is Big Girl, and this is her story.

Over eight months ago, Big Girl was found wandering, her body ravaged by one of the worst cases of demodex mange anyone had seen. She was nearly bald, her skin swollen and covered in open, oozing sores. 

Finally, one fateful day, a kind woman managed to catch her. Big Girl was taken to a vet, but her condition was so dire that she was brought in to be euthanized. That could have been the end of her story, but a partner rescue in Arkansas refused to give up. They decided to try, providing her with the medical care, love, and support she desperately needed.

Under their care, Big Girl slowly began to heal. She started growing back her fur, her wounds mended, and her playful, loving personality emerged. After months of recovery, she was ready for the next chapter of her journey. That’s when she came to us—full of hope, wagging her tail, and ready for her second chance at life.

Since arriving, Big Girl has stolen every heart she’s met. She greets everyone with a big smile and proudly offers her favorite toy to visitors, her tail wagging like crazy. She’s house-trained, adores other dogs (especially puppies), and is endlessly sweet with every person she meets.

Big Girl is house-trained, gets along well with other dogs (especially puppies), and is the very definition of a happy dog. She’s still heartworm positive and will need a family ready to continue her care, but her incredible transformation reminds us every day why we do what we do.

Now, Big Girl is officially adoptable, and we’re looking for her perfect match—could that be you?🫶
