Ailing Homeless Dog Closed His Eyes, Knowing He Was Finally Safe For First Time

Hope For Paws received a call regarding a sick homeless dog who was living on the border of the United States and Mexico and was in need of immediate medical care, writes ilovemydogsomuch

When rescuers arrived at the scene, they spoke with the man who called them and learned that the homeless dog took a liking to the man’s dogs and stuck around. The man always tried to provide the pup with food as often as possible, but he needed a lot more than just food.

Rescuers coaxed him with food before slipping a leash around him. They decided to name this sweet pup “Pax.”

Pax let them pick him up and put him in their car without resistance. He was happy and relieved to finally be rescued.

They took him to the animal hospital, where he was treated for his ailments – skin, ear and eye infections, mange, and open wounds.

He was very cooperative and allowed them to treat him as well as give him a medicated bath to help heal his skin.

Soon after, The Forgotten Dog Foundation helped Pax find the perfect forever home! Pax’s wounds have healed and his fur has grown back in. He looks like such a beautiful dog and is so happy to be with his new loving family.
