The rescuer observed that this dog, now sporting an adorable face and a wagging tail, was infested with large ticks and fleas. He realized he absolutely had to take the dog in to give it the essential medical care it needed.

Upon arriving at the shelter, the pup, now named Toffy, received a cleansing bath, a haircut, and treatment for the fleas and ticks.

While it took the rescuers two hours to remove every single tick, witnessing Toffy’s happiness following his treatment made it all worthwhile.

The next day, Toffy visited the vet, where it was discovered that he had some blood-related issues.

Toffy had a critically low red blood cell count and required a blood transfusion at the vet’s office.

Throughout the entire ordeal, this pup maintained his calm demeanor and was extremely cooperative.

He also expressed gratitude to the people caring for him, showing appreciation for the love and second chances.
