Blossom, the dog, was discovered by an OrphanPet volunteer in Greece. She’d been a stray on the streets for weeks, if not months. The poor dog was in terrible shape.

A chain wire had become entangled in her tail and had been there for quite some time. The chain grew enormously bloated because it was so tightly wrapped around her tail.

She was also covered in ticks, which aggravated the situation. A blood test revealed that her blood was abnormally thin as a result of the tick ticks. She wouldn’t have lived much longer if they hadn’t saved her. 

Blossom’s time was running out, and they realized they needed to help her right away.

After bringing her in, they had to amputate her tail and give her a blood transfusion. They carefully and methodically removed as many ticks as they could one by one, but it took them nearly a week to remove every single dead tick.

Her transformation is truly remarkable. She’s in great shape now, and she’s made some new canine pals along the way. What’s more, the best part? She’d been placed for adoption!She’s found her forever home and is relishing her second chance at life. She would not have survived if this volunteer had not found her and brought her in. Thank God for OrphanPet’s kind rescuers!

You can see her rescue and transformation in the video below. It’s truly incredible!
