Allow me to introduce you to Gardenia, a poignant example of the harsh reality faced by stray dogs in Houston. She arrived in a condition that was truly heart-wrenching, covered in mange and secondary infections. Her appearance, frightening to behold, often leads people to avert their eyes when encountering dogs like her on the streets.

Gardenia's battle began with mange, a distressing skin condition caused by tiny mites living beneath the skin, resulting in intense itching and hair loss. To ensure her well-being, she was promptly put on antibiotics to stave off potential infections.

Despite her initial hardships, Gardenia displayed an innate friendliness toward my own dogs. As time went by, she even started engaging in playful interactions with them. It's astonishing to think that less than a week has passed since I found her. With each passing day, she becomes more and more beautiful, and I can't help but be filled with hope for her future.

It's safe to say that this brave girl is on the mend, and Gardenia's transformation is nothing short of remarkable. We are now officially becoming a family, and I couldn't be happier.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone involved in the rescue of Ellie. Your love and kindness have paved the way for her to experience a wonderful life. You can witness her complete recovery and her happy ending by watching the video below.
