Abuse Case - Melody

Melody is a 2-3 year old female Pointer who was rescued by a wonderful person who took her and her ten puppies out of a very bad situation. As you can see from her pictures (taken the day she came to us), Melody was nothing but a bag of bones, but from the very beginning as been just as gentle and sweet as she can be. On the day they were brought to us we were with her and her pups giving them canned food and kibble (pups were about 4 weeks old). Melody started to eat, but when the pups dove into the food pan Melody stepped back to let them eat which told us volumes about her gentle and nurturing nature. We gave Melody and her pups lots of TLC, food and vitamins and the puppies are did great and Melody put on some weight. Melody's coat is in good condition amazingly enough as are the pups.
