An Angel Saved Her – Now She Needs You 🐾

An angel intervened. When a kind woman saw this emaciated one‑year‑old Great Dane who spent most of her time in a kennel littered with feces and urine, she refused to look the other way. Her courage saved this dog’s life. Our rescue stepped in and is bringing her to safety. The photo shows how skeletal she is.

Now she’s safe, but her recovery will be long. She needs veterinary exams, tests for parasites and organ damage, and a carefully managed re‑feeding plan to avoid re‑feeding syndrome. Malnutrition weakens the immune system and can lead to muscle wasting and organ damage, so she’ll need ongoing care.

Our president Melodies will be fostering Ruby and nursing her back to health once she arrives. We’re currently working with the angel in Minnesota to transport Ruby safely to Melodies' home in Iowa. Your gift will help cover the costs of this journey and her care.

Please donate & share to honor the angel who saved her and support Melodies' foster efforts. Your support will fund her medical treatment, nutritious food and a path to a loving home.

Why We Need Funds:

- Veterinary examinations & diagnostics: Blood panels, x-rays and parasite tests to assess organ function and detect underlying conditions.

- Re-feeding plan: Malnourished dogs must be reintroduced to food slowly to prevent re-feeding syndrome; she needs multiple small meals of nutrient-dense food each day.

- Medical treatment: Treat any infections or parasites, support immune and organ function, and provide vaccinations once she’s strong enough.

- Nutrition & supplies: High-calorie puppy food, digestive aids, skin and coat supplements, toys and a comfortable bed while she heals.

Our Goal:

We need funds to cover her medical bills, nutrition and care while she regains strength. Once healthy and vaccinated, we will place her in a loving forever home that appreciates her gentle nature and has space for her to thrive.

How You Can Help:

- Donate: Every contribution matters—25 buys a bag of high-quality food; 50 covers blood tests; 100 pays for x-rays and vet exams. Monthly donors provide steady support throughout her recovery.

- Share: Spread the story of the angel who saved her. Awareness brings more help.

- Adopt or foster: If you can offer this Great Dane a loving home, please let us know. She deserves a family who will never turn away.

With your help, we can honor the angel who acted and ensure this sweet dog finds the care and love she deserves. Thank you for caring.
