Out of all the jobs in the world, I think I can safely say that being a dog rescuer is up there with some of the most psychologically demanding jobs.
The amount of problems you have to deal with on a daily basis can sometimes be overwhelming, especially for people who work in overcrowded shelters.
Dogs are sometimes sent to shelters in horrible conditions, and they need extra treatment in order to recover. I can’t even imagine the amount of stress they deal with.
And yet, it’s one of the most noble jobs of all time. Even though it’s hard, there are many people who do it because it’s a job that is worth doing.
There is nothing better than giving a lost pup the chance it deserves to live a normal life. And, this is what we will be talking about today.
She Was Blind
Even though she was only 10 weeks old, Jolie was already living on her own on the streets of Texas. She was blind and suffered from many serious issues.
Because she couldn’t see, she spent most of her time walking in circles and ending up crashing into objects on numerous occasions.
A kind volunteer from East Texas Hoof and Paw Animal Rescue witnessed this shocking sight and immediately came to Jolie’s aid. She examined her quickly and then realized that she needed emergency help.
Shortly after, she was taken to a veterinarian who took her in and started an examination. The tests pointed to distemper, which is a neurological issue.
However, the veterinarians suspected that there was also something else. They suspected that she suffered head trauma or some kind of drug exposure.
There was no way to confirm it at that moment, so they thought that it was best to treat her and monitor her situation as she began to heal.
The veterinarians are determined to figure out what is going on with her, but in the meantime, she needs a place to stay.
Jolie Regained Her Sight
The volunteer who saved her was able to secure her care for a few days and Jolie finally got a small chance to relax. This meant so much to her.
She has likely never received kindness like this and it’s really important to show her that she is not alone in her life.
Even after extensive research, the veterinarians were still unable to figure out what was wrong with her, but there was no reason to get disheartened.
After she spent some time healing, the veterinarians and the rescuers were shocked to learn that Jolie had made an incredible recovery.
She no longer walked in circles and she had regained her sight. That was the most amazing thing of all. It meant that she could live a somewhat normal life.
They suspected that her loss of sight was due to head trauma and that it went back to normal after she healed.
The veterinarians were able to confirm that she did not have distemper so that was good news. This meant that she could now go into a foster home before she found a new family.
Jolie got to meet her new foster siblings and it’s just an amazing journey for her from now on. Her rescuers and the veterinarians are so happy for her. She deserves to find a forever home.
