Not only did her knotted coat block her eyesight, but she had similar obstacles to eating and going to the bathroom. It would have been difficult for her to have survived much longer.
One of our volunteers, Marlene, scooped her up and held her close despite all of the dirt and insects, and told her "You are safe now" and "Blossom is your new name".
Now spayed and groomed, Blossom is a tiny, adorable angel, unrecognizable from the day of her rescue. She is a Maltese, 2 years of age, triumphantly debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.
Blossom loves being held and reassured. She soaks up all of the compliments and affection, and then asks for much more.
She is good with other dogs and needs regular professional grooming so that she keeps feeling her best.
Please help us find Blossom a home where she is never again failed. She will need patience and kind guidance to learn to adjust to living predominantly indoors, including housetraining.
Other dogs rescued this summer were similarly suffering from extreme neglect, including Darian, Flora, and Marie & Mark.
