It is safe to say that this furry girl was heartbroken.
On top of all that, she had a giant belly, indicating that she might be pregnant. That’s why after offering her some food, the woman immediately contacted the local rescue group.

When rescuers arrived at the spot, they safely scooped up the dog and took her to their care. Then, came a heartbreak!
Upon her first vet exam, the dog was diagnosed with a series of issues. Her giant belly wasn’t a sign of pregnancy after all. It was swollen due to a progressed case of heartworms and cirrhosis of the liver.
In order to have a fighting chance, the dog needed a complex set of treatments, and she needed them now.

The good news was that this brave girl never lost hope throughout this entire process. Later named Sarah, she ate without problems and moved lightly as if she didn’t have any issues.
The vets drained her fluids and treated her heartworms with medication, which ultimately yielded positive results. After only five treatments of fluid drainage, she looked so much smaller.
Her ribs were visible, showing that she was malnourished in the past, but she felt so much better, and that was the only thing that mattered!

When the time comes, she will definitely make some hoomans really happy, as Sarah only radiates joy, happiness, and good vibes! She’s a good girl who deserves to have a good life!
