Being an animal control officer carries a heartbreaking responsibility – one that often involves finding furry babies in devastating conditions.
One Texas officer was scouting the area for abandoned dogs when they stumbled upon Pixie.
She had been mercilessly tied to a pole by her previous owners, far from anyone who could find her. Pixie spent days curled up on the ground, with her ribs showing.
The sad truth was she was literally days away from facing the inevitable end…
There Was No Food And Water Anywhere Nearby
Pixie’s humans made her abandonment as cruel as possible. Not only did she not have a place to hide from potential danger, but Pixie had absolutely no food or water.
When found, she literally resembled a dog skeleton.
The officer’s prompt action was her only hope, and luckily, it was delivered just in time!
“This sweet babe was found tied to a pole, with no food or water whatsoever. The amazing animal control officer seemingly found this sweet girl just in time or she wouldn’t have lasted much longer out there,” Brizzee Animal Rescue stated on social media.
Pixie’s story reached Emily and Mike Brizzee, the founders of Brizzee Animal Rescue, in Haslet, Texas. The couple couldn’t help but take this poor girl into their rescue. Given her trauma, they knew being in a shelter would probably do more harm than good to Pixie.
Thus, a new beginning unfolded for this sweet girl!
Receiving a cozy place to be and a roof over her head, Pixie finally had a fresh start.
For the first time in forever, she was on her way to learning what true love feels like.
Waiting For The Pawfect Family
Pixie’s journey to trust again was not an easy process. However, Emily and her family did everything in their power to make her as comfortable as possible.
She was provided with plenty of space to move freely, along with lots of TLC. Eventually, Pixie not only came out of her shell but also began to exhibit her true colors.
She realized that her new hoomans meant well and started reciprocating their love with sweet kisses. She cuddled, wagged her tail, and had a beautiful smile on her face whenever she was around Emily and Mike. But, she really took to Brody, the couple’s eight-year-old son.
Now, she sleeps with him every night and feels as safe as she possibly can.
“She began to trust us and open up. She has become very attached to our 8-year-old son and sleeps with him at night,” Emily told The Dodo.
Her rescuers still work closely with Pixie. Once they make sure her anxious days are completely behind her, this sweet girl will be looking for a forever home.
For now, she’s happy to have hoomans who won’t let her down or betray her. Pixie has finally learned that humanity has a brighter side, and that love and security are what she seeks in her future family!
