When Victoria arrived, she was barely hanging on. A severe flea infestation had drained her of blood and strength, leaving her critically anemic and fighting for her life. Even in that fragile state, this gentle fawn pug met every hand that reached for her with quiet trust — as if she somehow knew help had finally come.
Now, under the care of our veterinary team, Victoria is receiving everything she needs to heal, including a life-saving blood transfusion. Each day she grows a little stronger, her soft eyes brightening as she rediscovers comfort, warmth, and safety.
Originally thought to be eight years old, Victoria’s recovery has revealed a different story. Once her body began to heal, her spirit did too — playful, curious, and full of life. Our veterinarian now estimates she’s closer to two to four years old, with her whole future waiting to unfold.
Victoria’s journey is one of quiet courage and remarkable resilience. She reminds us that with care and compassion, even the most fragile beginnings can become stories of hope.
