Abandoned And Abused Dogs Are Completely Transformed By Love

While the world has changed massively over the last 40 years, the mantra still rings true, as you can see from the photos of these abandoned animals who were rescued, and with a whole lot of love, had their lives turned around from their caring owners.

Though the sight of these poor stray dogs in their before state might speak volumes on animal abuse, the happy endings to their stories help us keep faith in humanity. So, what are you waiting for? Give the person next to you – or your dog or cat! – a hug and share some love! After, of course, scrolling down to this miraculous before and after photo list of rescue dogs who got truly lucky.

No one can doubt the power of love after looking at the massive transformation of these pets!



1. This is Chester.

A Sri Lankan street dog that was riddled with scabies and mange and was blind in one eye, Chester had a calcium deficiency and was malnourished when she arrived at the Dogstar Foundation clinic.

Thankfully, Chester was given some much needed treatment and TLC.

2. This poor little guy is Errol.

Errol was so traumatized by previous human treatment that he would not let anyone touch him.

Slowly, Errol learnt to trust again. He was treated for his skin condition and overgrown nails, and was fed three times a day. Can you believe that this is the same dog?

3. This is Mango.

She was found emaciated, almost bald from mange with a thick leathery skin in place of fur and gaping sores on her legs, one of which was bent at an alarming angle. Mango clearly needed a lot more than a dose of flea treatment. And, with the help of Dogstar Foundation, she made an incredible recovery.



4. This is Nero.

A street puppy who was severely abused. Nero suffered from a broken leg, among other various, and serious skin conditions.

And here is Nero, a few months later, happy and healthy and desperately trying to grow into those ears!

5. Meet Sidney.

A Sri Lankan street puppy with severe physical and psychological damage, Sidney would scream if anybody went near him.

You can see from the picture that this puppy was in desperate need.

And this is beautiful and happy Sidney, just a few short months later.

6. Coconut.

“My Friend Rescued Coconut. Three Months After He Looks Like This.” – One person said.

7. Dog who turned to stone from mange was afraid of human touch, now demands belly rubs.

8. Copeland

This Is Little Copeland Before And After Rescue.



9. Kelsey

Kelsey was found infested with parasites and starving, but then she met a kind stranger who somehow convinced Kelsey to get into his car. Now she has a home.

10. Dog in the street of Montreal

This Poor Guy Was Found In The Streets Of Montreal Looking So Filthy That It Was Hard To Tell That He Was Actually A Dog. But Look How Charming He Seems After His Cleanup.
