When Dobby’s former owner first walked into the vaccination clinic with him, no one could believe their eyes. The little dog was raw and red, and didn’t look much like a dog at all. The employees’ hearts were breaking, and they knew they had to help him.

In January 2016, Sara Harper was working as the vet technician at the low-cost vaccination clinic in Florida run by Concerned Citizens For Animal Welfare. As soon as she laid eyes on Dobby, she knew it was her mission to help heal him. The woman who brought him in said he was 5 years old — and that this was his first time ever being seen by a vet.

“We were horrified at his malnourished condition.”

“He sat there with love in his little eyes — like he knew he had finally been saved.”

He was still a long way from being ready to be adopted when his future family saw his picture on Facebook and knew he was meant to be theirs.

“I could not believe my eyes when I saw him, I pretty much knew then that he would be coming to live with us.”

“They healed his body and soul, looking at him now you would never know what he had been through! It was a village that came together to save him. He is a lucky, handsome boy with the best owners ever.”

His new family is so proud of how far he’s come, and so grateful to have him as a part of their pack.
