She’s a survivor \u2764\ufe0f\ufe0f<\/h2>\n
\n

\n

When a dog was found collapsed on a street in Brooklyn in mid-September, many bystanders thought she was already dead. The poor dog wasn\u2019t moving and was just skin and bones \u2014 but, somehow, she was still hanging on.<\/p>\n

People began posting about the dog, later named Feisty, which got the attention of Second Chance Rescue. With the help of a Good Samaritan, they got her transferred to an emergency hospital, where she was immediately started on antibiotics, fluids and pain medication. Feisty was in really rough shape, and at that point, her rescuers had no idea if she was going to make it.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was in terrible condition: sickly, dehydrated and malnourished with clumps of hair missing,\u201d Rachel Larkin, director of social media for Second Chance Rescue, told The Dodo. \u201cShe was covered in urine and fleas, and her nails were so overgrown they were embedded into her paw pads. But the biggest concern was the masses on her body and whether they were cancerous or benign.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Despite all of the pain she was in, Feisty was the sweetest dog from the very moment she was rescued. All she wanted was to be loved, and to thank everyone around her for giving her that love that she\u2019d never known before.<\/p>\n

\u201cFeisty was pure love from the moment she was found laid out on that sidewalk,\u201d Larkin said. \u201cWhen our volunteers went to visit her the morning after she arrived at the hospital, she greeted them with gentle kisses and a happy, albeit hairless, tail that wouldn’t quit wagging.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Since everyone suspected that Feisty had cancer, she was taken in by a foster family as a fospice dog. Her new family fell in love with her instantly \u2014 and when they found out that she didn\u2019t have cancer after all, they were absolutely over the moon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we got the news that Feisty’s biopsy results came back as benign and noncancerous, Feisty was no longer considered hospice,\u201d Larkin said. \u201cBy the next morning, Feisty’s fospice parents had requested adoption papers. They knew she was already home.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Feisty, whose parents call her FeeFee, is doing so well in her new life. She\u2019s now a happy, healthy senior girl who gets to spend her days lounging around with a family who loves her, and they\u2019re so grateful to have her in their lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cFeeFee aka Feisty is coming out of her shell,\u201d Ursula Schmidt, Feisty\u2019s mom, told The Dodo. \u201cShe\u2019s begun to bark and (respectfully) demands cuddles, food and attention \u2026 She LOVES visitors and meeting everyone during walks. It is very important to her to greet everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Feisty went from being unloved and abandoned on a city street to having more love than she knows what to do with, and there could truly be no better happy ending than that.<\/p>\n
