[VIDEO] Dog Abandoned in Tattered Coat Recovers Amazingly

 

In total darkness, it is hard to do anything, let alone catch and save a scared dog. Because of this, Logan’s Legacy‘s founder, Suzette Hall, likes to do her rescues early in the morning.

 

But when Hall got a message late one night about a sick dog that had been left alone and was crying, she packed up her car with snacks and a humane dog trap right away.

 

 

“I went out at midnight,” Hall told The Dodo. “She was out in the middle of nowhere, on a one-lane road. I knew I had to get her.”

 

At first, it was too dark for Hall to find the dog. But a special reflection helped her find the puppy in the end.

 

“I saw her by her eyes,” Hall said. “We named her Moonie because it was the moonlight that helped me notice her.”

 

Moonie had pretty eyes, but the rest of her body was in terrible shape. “She was skin and bones wearing an old, dirty jacket,” Hall said. In fact, Hall thought at first that she had caught a coyote because Moonie was so skinny.

 

 

“She had mange and scabies, and everything,” Hall said. “When I got her that night, she smelled so bad.”

 

But Hall stayed by Moonie’s side even though she was sick. The two of them slept in the car together until the vet opened in the morning. After seeing the vet, Moonie started getting serious treatment for her many illnesses, which took six weeks.

 

Moonie went into foster care when she was done with her treatment. But because she was so friendly, she didn’t stay a “foster pup” for long.

 

“She went to two different foster homes,” Hall said. “They were going to put her up for adoption during her second foster stay, but her foster mom said, ‘No, I can’t part with this gal. We can’t let her go.’”

 

Hall says that Moonie has “the most amazing life now.”

 

She loves being the only child in her new family and getting all the love and attention that comes with it. She is also thriving in her new home by the beach and has changed in a stunning way.

 

 

“She looks like the most beautiful dog you’ve ever seen in your life now,” Hall said. “She deserves the world. And she deserves to have her story told.”
