Wherever we are, there will always be stray dogs that will need rescuing, especially in urban areas. People often ignore stray dogs because of how they look. Stray dogs will often have skin problems because of parasites. With no one caring for them, their skin problems get worse, which results in the shedding of the fur and appearing diseased and unhealthy.
A stray dog in Romania named Elsa was almost bald when rescuers found her. Despite being a stray dog, Elsa was very friendly towards the rescuers that she didn’t even run away when she was approached. Elsa was even the one that went near the rescuers to say hello.
Despite having been through so much, Elsa still trusted humans. Elsa even kept giving her paw to the rescuers, and she was always wagging her tail. The rescuers noticed that Elsa’s skin condition was familiar. The rescuers knew that it was caused by a mite that burrows into the hair follicle, which causes the fur to shed and prevents it from growing back.
However, Elsa refused to go with the rescuer without her best friend, who’s also a stray dog named Hugo. When the rescuers got Hugo into their car, Elsa followed and completely relaxed in the vehicle. Elsa and Hugo were taken to the veterinarian, and the rescuers gave Elsa a medicated bath to soothe the skin and kill the mites.
Six months after her rescue, Elsa looks like a different dog. Elsa grew all her fur back, and she became a beautiful dog. It was during Christmas was when Elsa met her forever parents. Andreea and Maria saw that Elsa was looking for a foster for a few days during Christmas.
Despite being a huge dog, Andreea and Maria saw something really special with Elsa. When a family came to look at Elsa, Andreea and Maria found that they were very upset and felt that they didn’t want to give Elsa away. When the family said that they couldn’t take Elsa, that’s when Andreea and Maria decided to keep Elsa. Here’s a heartwarming video of Elsa’s story.
