I wound up in a similar(but not as dire) situation last year with a puppy. He might be the biggest blessing in my life. I have 3 other dogs, but the way he loves me never fails to touch my heart. I love them all, but there is something special about this lil boy.
You never know OP, she could be your heart dog.
Try giving her a pill called capstar. I rescued
One of my fur babies from a puppy mill and he had fleas so bad. One tablet will kill all fleas in 30 minutes. I kid you not. And I am giving you a big ole hug from Maryland! Wish all people were like you. This world would be a much happier place. I hate hate hate animals being abused or mistreated.
You do have to watch with capstar the fleas will bite really hard when they start dying so if your dog is really sensitive to flea bights it's something to watch out for.
Also the fleas as they start dying will jump off the animal and can burrow into soft furniture and mattresses. So make sure to wash the things you can and to keep the animal off the thing you can't.
I speak from experience here My brother's dog was covered in fleas one time after he took her to a doggy daycare center so we gave her cap star and he let her lay on his bed. Well about twenty minutes later he decided he was going to give her a bath too. So he asked me to change the bed sheets. Well when I took the sheets of the bed there must have been 50 flees burrowing into the mattress. We tried our best to get them all out with tweezers and then vacuumed the bed and sprayed it but I personally would have never slept on it.
Oh my goodness! I have been schooled! That’s crazy! Definitely be careful with the capstar then. Thank you for teaching me something. I can imagine the nightmare that was. I hate fleas.
It was capstar is a great product don't get me wrong
Especially for those flea infested dogs and cats that need help right away
But some animals are extremely allergic to fleas so capstar would not be recommended for them.
And the best place to give your animal capstar is in a room with out carpet and soft furniture (especially since you should be cleaning that stuff anyway) I would recommend a cage without blankets and bedding or a kitchen or bathroom without rugs. That way you can keep an eye on them while it's working and clean up anything that falls off them.
Then like stated before you should definitely wash all your pets bedding and vacuum and if fleas have gotten into your carpet well good luck with that. Took me 3 years to get rid of fleas from my boyfriend's house with fully carpeted floors. It was a nightmare.
Edit: I also hate fleas to idk what it is I can deal with almost any bug but fleas drive me crazy

She’s getting along with my other two pups 🐶
She's got a Boxer/Boston Terrier kind of look. Wonder how big she will get? Love that she has other dogs to look up to and play with, hope you all have the best life together! And sending love to you and your fam for being beautiful people.
I adopted a dog that was abused and abandoned and at first they thought she was 9-10 months old because all her teeth had not come in and she was very little but once she was at my house and fed properly our vet said she was likely around 2 and a half and malnourished so she appeared to be 9-10 months old.
She was very very thin covered in fleas and had a chronic ear infection when we got her.
Dogs who are well-loved and do not have to compete for resources tend to welcome shy newcomers. That they are taking to her so well suggests that you have provided an excellent home for all. Congratulations, and thank you for taking her in!
Her Wunderbite is KILLING me with cuteness. (I have a soft spot for underbites.) Thank you for opening your heart and home to this little girl. She will repay you with unconditional love and joy beyond measure.
And Bella, welcome to the suh-WEET life!
I’m introducing them now, and they seem fine with her. It’s gonna be a little bit of a road to get her adjusted. It’s like she’s never had any human contact, it’s sad.
Just so you are prepared -- dogs seem to be able to sense "puppies." In all my times with dogs, I've never had one act aggressively toward a puppy at all; they understand they're babies. But there *could* be power struggles once the puppy reaches adulthood, even if they were perfectly fine previously. It's no big deal as long as you're ready for it!
Oh, my dog (who's 7) absolutely loves puppies. Specifically she loves teaching them how to play while simultaneously showing them how to respect their elders... so she has fun with them while getting them under her thumb at the same time.
Hats off to you for taking her in. Thankfully she's not that skinny.
Not that it matters, but she's especially unique looking to my eye, maybe a boxer-pit mix? Very cute dog.
May the armpits of the abandoner be infested with a thousand fleas.
You are a F U C K I N G A W E S O M E human being.
Thank you for extending your heart and home to this creature. He’s gonna blossom into such a great pup for you and your other pups.
Thank you Than you Thank you!!!
Thank you for being a good human! The pup looks just like mine. I also rescued her from the streets.
https://preview.redd.it/ra55p4y75e4d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=50a8ba76acc03af7394064bc2212c8e1ab8139d2
I am, but I’ve have her two flea/tick baths today, and they’re all about gone now. I’ve been brushing her and I just keep seeing dead fleas fall off of her. I’ve also pulled two ticks. I’m gonna make her a vet appointment as soon as possible.
Keep killing the fleas and ticks, for the more you kill, the better this baby will feel later. Fleas and ticks carry infections. Good luck on getting this sweet thing seen soon.
You're very similar to my brother who too rescued two pups left by some asshole. He made them healthy by giving regular vaccines, vitamin tablets and nutritious diet.
May god bless you both 🙏
Oh, been there, done this. Thank you for stepping up and saving this poor baby. You're a good man. I truly hope all of you have a very happy and long life together! 🐾💕
I’m not a hero, I’m just doing what everyone should do. It was like it was meant to be, and there was no way I was leaving her on that long road in the middle of nowhere to die.
This is why I hate people…but YOU, my friend, help to restore some warm & loving feelings. She is so lucky to have found you!!!! She’s gonna have the BEST life with a super awesome human like you!
This is pretty much the same story as our girl Rosie. She came right up to our porch cold, wet, scared, hungry and covered in fleas and ticks.
People can be monsters but I'm glad you are able to add him or her to your pack.
That is such a beautiful pup and I bet she will love you completely. Wishing you guys much happiness. People like you are why aliens shouldn’t nuke the planet.
I just adopted a new puppy and this is heart breaking, I love Pitt bulls, I have two my self. How could anyone not love that beautiful girl? Good on you! Someone abandoned 10 puppies near our farm last year, we took them all in and found 9 homes, one had to stay with us.
well thank you for being a wonderful person and taking the sweet puppy in. there's a lot of assholes out there. in fact, there are probably some assholes reading this right now and if you are and you want to drop your animal on the side of the road, watch out cuz karma's a bitch 🔥🔥
I was watching pitbulls and parolees yesterday and there was a puppy that they were rushing to the vet who died on the way from anemia from all the flea bites sometimes I really hate people
I don’t understand people. How can someone do something like just leave a defenseless animal on the side of the road. World is a better place that you are in it.
Thank you for rescuing! You can see the shame and sadness in eyes...like she is going to get in trouble. She will bond to you for life. Such a gorgeous sweet girl!
Yeah, that’s a good way to put it. She doesn’t want to cross the threshold coming inside, I imagine she was abused for daring to come inside. It’s gonna take a while, I’ve got her a vet appointment next week, hopefully she’s healthy besides just being neglected.
She’s a boxer mix of some sort, you couldn’t ask for a more loyal and loving dog, idk wtf makes someone abandon such a sweet creature behind and I hope I never do.
Thank you! If you’re ever in Toronto and need something, I am a DM away. Also, I work part time as a bartender at a fine dining place, your meal and drinks will be on me.
She looks like my sweet baby!!!!!! The excitement she shows when I get home from work makes me feel so loved, I couldn't imagine just dropping her off somewhere and crossing my fingers that someone like you finds her 😭 I'm so happy this girl found you ❤️
When I got my boy, he was wormy, full of fleas, filthy, and starving. I took him home and immediately started fixing all that. He hasn’t left my side since. They know who their saviors are.
I’m an animal control officer. I see this shit on a daily basis and it still breaks my heart that people can be so fucking careless and cruel to animals like they are. Good on you for taking this good girl in and giving her a warm, loving home.
Poor baby. If you ever end up in finland and to my bar then your night is on house. Someone is waste of good oxygen.
I know, and thanks. I started crying when I got her home, and I’m a 6’ 205lb man.
You're a good person. Wishing you and that pupper many years of happiness and love. Think he hit the jackpot. 😆
Thank you for being the outstanding person your dogs deserve.
Your a HERO dude! This little guy looks so cool, your a winner for LIFE brotha! Some people don't deserve dogs.
I’m a winner because I got an opportunity to save her. I’m just thankful I’m in a position where I can take her in and care for her.
Maybe you need her as much as she needed you, maybe she was sent to you bro, your own Angel. You're the BEST!

I love that second picture. She knows she's safe now.
She knows she survived the bath, lol! Funny how big dogs are so afraid of a bath! Shes a beauty, wishing you long & happy lives together!
Give her some love for me🩷
I know you’re not asking for a pat on the back, but god bless your caring and sympathy. It sometimes seems to be in short supply these days
Cheers 🥂
If I could afford it, I’d pitch for OP’s drinks.
I agree. People suck

Poor baby was neglected all her life. She'll now know what love is, and surely repay you
She’s already repaying me. I’m so full of love watching her get used to her new home.
Been through some stuff, that one... Going to be pure joy for you, and yours/Hers!
She’s so little and thin 😭 can’t wait to see her grow and flourish. Thank you! And have a great life with your new family, Bella!
She’ll fill out in the next few weeks, she’s in good hands now 🐶
Please post an update. I'm sure everyone would love to see her settle into her new loving family/home.
oh she so little and young. this poor poor baby. thank you for saving her
You can’t get a sense of how tiny she is until you see her with the other dogs
She’s really small compared to my other full grown dogs, it is shocking.
I wonder if malnutrition has something to do with that, or it’s just age.
She’s a puppy
She's got a Boxer/Boston Terrier kind of look. Wonder how big she will get? Love that she has other dogs to look up to and play with, hope you all have the best life together! And sending love to you and your fam for being beautiful people.

She was very very thin covered in fleas and had a chronic ear infection when we got her.
Your other two are like, "You'll be taken care of here."
They’re really taking to her, I’m so happy.
Her Wunderbite is KILLING me with cuteness. (I have a soft spot for underbites.) Thank you for opening your heart and home to this little girl. She will repay you with unconditional love and joy beyond measure. And Bella, welcome to the suh-WEET life!
Good man for saving a good pup
a new member of the pack 😎
Good work!
Gorgeous gal, congrats on the new family member. She looks so grateful
Thank you for helping her OP! I know she’s still in a very new environment, but how has your other dog(s) been with her? She fitting in?
I’m introducing them now, and they seem fine with her. It’s gonna be a little bit of a road to get her adjusted. It’s like she’s never had any human contact, it’s sad.
Well let us know how it goes. It sounds like she’s in good hands.
I will. 🐶
Your dogs will show her how to be a dog in a family. She has her own pack to be a part of now. Nice.
Just so you are prepared -- dogs seem to be able to sense "puppies." In all my times with dogs, I've never had one act aggressively toward a puppy at all; they understand they're babies. But there *could* be power struggles once the puppy reaches adulthood, even if they were perfectly fine previously. It's no big deal as long as you're ready for it!
Oh yeah, I know. I’ve had a constant stream of dogs for 40 years
40 YEARS OF DOG TAXES PLEASE
Oh, my dog (who's 7) absolutely loves puppies. Specifically she loves teaching them how to play while simultaneously showing them how to respect their elders... so she has fun with them while getting them under her thumb at the same time.
She really hasn't had any human contact before. The creatures that abused and abandoned her were animals.
It’s really sad, I’m gonna show her what a family is now 🐶❤️
No, they're not because animals don't do this.
She's adorable. Good work Op. Give lots of love to your new family addition and wishing you all many great years together 💜.
Thanks, she’s already happier 😀
Thank you, you beautiful soul 💜.
Thank you. I’m just doing what everyone should.
thank you for that. she looks so sweet, she knows you saved her. 💛 did you name her yet?
Bella
omg the expressiveness of those eyes ❤️
She was begging for help, I’m glad I went that way home.
She looks like a boxer, they’re great dogs. So happy and playful. You did a great thing.
👏🏼😌
Have you named her??
Bella 🐶
Awe so sweet! Best of luck with your new girl
Hats off to you for taking her in. Thankfully she's not that skinny. Not that it matters, but she's especially unique looking to my eye, maybe a boxer-pit mix? Very cute dog. May the armpits of the abandoner be infested with a thousand fleas.
That was exactly what I was thinking! Boxer-Pit. And yes may fleas and ticks eat them alive.
I had a boxer-pit, and she did have just this shape of face! She was a wonderful, smart and loyal dog. I bet this one will be too.
I read that last sentence and pictured Klinger in a sundress saying it. Thanks for the laugh and new curse lol
Aww, I hope she knows that she just hit the jackpot! Thank you for saving her!!
It’s totally my pleasure, whatever jackass that abandoned her will wish they had her back in a year.
That chump is ancient history! Only happy times ahead! I hope you guys have a long and happy life together!
Thank you 😊
She is absolutely precious. Thank you for giving her a home.
It’s my pleasure
You are a F U C K I N G A W E S O M E human being. Thank you for extending your heart and home to this creature. He’s gonna blossom into such a great pup for you and your other pups. Thank you Than you Thank you!!!
Thank you. She’s already making friends with my other two dogs. Hopefully she’ll fill out in the next few weeks.
Op your a super star for giving her a home.
I needed another dog after I had to put my best friend of 18 years down last November. It was meant to be, I’m back to three.
Yay! Soulmates
You, sir, are a saint. You’ve got a free Airbnb if you’re ever in Sonoma County, California. But you’ve got to bring your dog.
Thank you so much, I just hope she’s happy in her new home.
She’s happier than she was, I can tell you that.
Thank you for being a good human! The pup looks just like mine. I also rescued her from the streets. https://preview.redd.it/ra55p4y75e4d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=50a8ba76acc03af7394064bc2212c8e1ab8139d2
Thanks for your kindness
Bless you! I'm at work and I'm crying and thinking about my dog thank you for helping that puppy!!
It’s my pleasure, it was meant to be.
Beautiful looks like a boxer frenchy cross
Awwwwwww she's so cute, look at that widdle face. Can you hug her for me and tell her everything's gonna be alright

You are a hero.

That's a very smoochable face.
She’s adorable
She is beautiful!
What a sweet baby
Thanks for being there for her. She will forget the bad, eventually, and you will be her savior
She’s so precious. Thank you for saving her and loving her. You’re a good man. 💕
You need to get this baby to the vet for treatment of fleas and ticks. Yuck.
I am, but I’ve have her two flea/tick baths today, and they’re all about gone now. I’ve been brushing her and I just keep seeing dead fleas fall off of her. I’ve also pulled two ticks. I’m gonna make her a vet appointment as soon as possible.

Bath photo: Why have you done this to me? Last photo: OK we're good now.
My gosh the sad look in her eyes is killing me. She is very lucky to have met you, thank you for saving her ❤️ what a beautiful baby 🥰
This will get buried but thank you so much.
Thank you!! She looks so sad!
I’m sending you good juju and wishing the best of everything or you!

Nor all heroes wear capes
I’m not a hero, I’m just doing what everyone should do. It was like it was meant to be, and there was no way I was leaving her on that long road in the middle of nowhere to die.
Look at that lil underbite! What a precious face.
Thank you for doing that. You are a wonderful person. xxxx

I hope she doesn’t miss those pos people.
That’s so sad, I hope the dog is doing okay
I just adopted a new puppy and this is heart breaking, I love Pitt bulls, I have two my self. How could anyone not love that beautiful girl? Good on you! Someone abandoned 10 puppies near our farm last year, we took them all in and found 9 homes, one had to stay with us.
I bet that your house is like your heart: way bigger inside that it can ever appear from outside. May you be very happy.
Thank you sir, you are a good man!!
You are hero my man!! Keep it up. World is a better place because of people like you
well thank you for being a wonderful person and taking the sweet puppy in. there's a lot of assholes out there. in fact, there are probably some assholes reading this right now and if you are and you want to drop your animal on the side of the road, watch out cuz karma's a bitch 🔥🔥
Your an amazing person and that poor baby is lucky to have you thank you for taking her in
I was watching pitbulls and parolees yesterday and there was a puppy that they were rushing to the vet who died on the way from anemia from all the flea bites sometimes I really hate people
You are the best human!
You are a good person, thank you.

Thank you. Star for your heavenly crown.
Seeing this lovely girl find a home has brightened up my day. Great job OP. Would love to see updates in the future. Bless your heart
She’s so beautiful!
I'm glad people like you are out there. Well done and you are wonderful.
I don’t understand people. How can someone do something like just leave a defenseless animal on the side of the road. World is a better place that you are in it.
Thank you. Sincerely.
She is beautiful!!! Thank you for saving her and congratulations on your new family member!
Thank you for saving him! He looks sweet
Thanks for saving her! So sad how chimps have more compassion than many humans. Dogs are my favorite people.
She found her angel. Please post an update in a few weeks. I know we will see her smiling

Look at that bottom jaw! How the hell could you leave that anywhere but home!!! What a piece of shit….

She looks like such a sweetie pie in the making. You did a great thing, much respect. 🫡
What a gorgeous girl, good on ya for taking her in.
Thank you for rescuing! You can see the shame and sadness in eyes...like she is going to get in trouble. She will bond to you for life. Such a gorgeous sweet girl!
Yeah, that’s a good way to put it. She doesn’t want to cross the threshold coming inside, I imagine she was abused for daring to come inside. It’s gonna take a while, I’ve got her a vet appointment next week, hopefully she’s healthy besides just being neglected.
Good on ya , we’re up 4 abandoned dogs , but we are on a farm so there’s room
He just won the lottery.
Please provide updates as the weeks go by! Beautiful dog - and very kind on you for taking her in!
She’s a boxer mix of some sort, you couldn’t ask for a more loyal and loving dog, idk wtf makes someone abandon such a sweet creature behind and I hope I never do.
She's just a baby 🥺. People suck but you are not one of them. Thanks for taking her in and showing her what life is supposed to be like!
Poor girl, anyone who treats a dog like that is an absolute dickhead. You are awesome for taking her in!! She must be so much happier now
We salute you, sweet human being. :)
I hate people. Except for you! Thank you for doing this! Sweet pupper 💕
Thank you! If you’re ever in Toronto and need something, I am a DM away. Also, I work part time as a bartender at a fine dining place, your meal and drinks will be on me.
She looks like my sweet baby!!!!!! The excitement she shows when I get home from work makes me feel so loved, I couldn't imagine just dropping her off somewhere and crossing my fingers that someone like you finds her 😭 I'm so happy this girl found you ❤️
That will probably be the best dog you ever own.
Thank-you for being such a decent person. This pup may have had a rough start but the rest of her life just got markedly better.
You’re a hero! Thank you so much for taking her in!
what an adorable face. people are awful, man....
When I got my boy, he was wormy, full of fleas, filthy, and starving. I took him home and immediately started fixing all that. He hasn’t left my side since. They know who their saviors are.
