NYC Second Chance Rescue/nycscr.org
An “emaciated” puppy from the Bronx, discovered neglected and in a “critical state” last week, is now “happy”, “loved” and about to join a new home after a local animal rescue sprung into action.
At the time, the nonprofit revealed that the tiny puppy, who was just months old, was discovered “roaming the halls” of a Bronx apartment building.
“Not only is she skin and bones, but she is vomiting and weak. We rushed her to our partner vet for immediate care,” Second Chance previously shared. “The vets think she is just a few months old. Just one look at her, and you can feel her suffering. Her condition is pure abuse, neglect, and the work of the devil.”

“You inspire us everyday and our hope is that we inspire you too. Miracles do happen and second chance are beautiful.”
“She is anemic, her proteins are low, and she has enamel hypoplasia, all from malnutrition. Her biggest battles are she has a urinary tract infection and is at high risk of refeeding syndrome,” Second Chance wrote. “Refeeding syndrome can appear in the blink of an eye and quickly becomes life-threatening.”
