Previously ignored 1-year-old dog mistaken for a much older canine now enjoys dressing up in adorable outfits

Imagine a neglec.ted, 1-year-old dog facing euthanasia – a heartbreaking image that is unfortunately all too common for many dogs abandoned by their owners.

One such story comes from California, where a tiny, one-year-old dog named Reese was on the brink of being put down due to severe neglect. Skin and bones, and suffering from advanced mange, Reese found herself in a crowded shelter with little hope for survival.

Fortunately, her story took a turn for the better when she crossed paths with the compassionate souls at Wags and Walks Rescue in Los Angeles, California. Rescued just in time from a shelter ill-equipped to care for her medical needs, Reese was given a second chance at life.

Despite her young age, Reese appeared much older due to her neglected state. With advanced mange, open wounds, an infected eye, and severe emaciation, she had endured unimaginable suffering.

Thanks to the dedicated team at Wags and Walks Rescue, Reese was placed in a loving foster home where she received the care and attention she so desperately needed.

With the support of a generous community, Reese began to heal and regain her strength. She quickly transformed into a fashion icon, donning stylish outfits that not only protected her fur but also showcased her newfound confidence.

“She is safe with us now and we’re thrilled to share that she’s healing quickly, gaining weight and on the road to a full recovery! We are beyond grateful for this incredible community’s support and Reese’s amazing foster family,” the rescue wrote on Instagram.
