Joey was literally standing in the middle of a busy road when a good Samaritan swooped in and picked him up. Then she went online to beg for help.

ESRA stepped up—as we always do. We immediately took him to the vet, where he was diagnosed with whipworms, ehrlichia, and dangerously serious anemia.

Yet Joey was wagging his tail.

Do dogs in need innately know they're finally safe with ESRA?

Today, Joey is healthy and living the Springer good life.
