When two pups, named Poppy and William, were found wandering the streets together, paw in paw, they hardly resembled dogs at all; they were extremely malnourished and nearly devoid of fur.
Concerned bystanders couldn’t bear to see these poor dogs in such a state, so they hurried them to the local vet, who later transferred them into the care of the RSPCA.
Given the condition of these pups, many believed they required intensive care. Even then, there were doubts about their survival.
“It breaks our hearts to think back to when they were first rescued — they had been through so much trauma and were extremely withdrawn and depressed. It was clear they had been used for breeding and were likely no longer fulfilling their purpose before they were cruelly abandoned,” said Hannah White, a worker at the RSPCA Kent Isle of Thanet Branch, in a press release.
Everyone assumed these best friends faced a long road to recovery, but they proved them wrong. In just three months, Poppy and William looked like brand-new dogs.
“Today, they are full of beans and completely unrecognizable,” she added.
Both of these adorable pups are now thriving, fully recovering not only their health but also their soft and luscious fur.
They stayed at a foster home while regaining their strength, but now they are seeking a loving forever home where they can spend every passing hour together.
“These two have been through so much together and are completely bonded — William has very poor sight, so Poppy acts as his guide dog as well as his companion; they are completely inseparable, so we’d like them to be adopted together,” concluded Hannah.
