The Abandonment and Discovery

After being left behind, Rubble struggled to survive without care or proper attention. Her family discovered her condition and tried to contact the owner, but he did not respond to any of their calls. Eventually, they reached out to A Chance To Bloom Dog Rescue for help.

Rescue Team’s Shock at Rubble’s Condition

Specialists at the rescue organization were deeply shocked by Rubble’s state. She was extremely weak, covered in wounds, and suffering from a vision problem. Alyssa, a member of the organization, said she was first in shock and then furious when she saw the dog’s condition. She wanted to hold her and make her feel better.

Veterinary Treatment Begins

When Alyssa arrived at BluePearl Veterinary Partners, the entire team was stunned by what they saw. Rubble was placed on a treatment plan for her severe skin condition, caused by malnutrition and parasites. She also suffered from a genetic condition called entropion, where the eyelids fold inward.

Surgery and Foster Care Needed

To heal, Rubble will need surgical procedures to correct her eyelid condition. Alyssa Staloch, another member of the organization, has offered to foster the dog until she undergoes eye surgery and reaches a healthy weight.

Rubble’s Hope for the Future

Rubble is an example of a dog who, despite a difficult start in life, only wants to show gratitude and affection. Once fully healed, she will be a perfect dog for a family willing to love her back. Jessica Russell, founder and president of A Chance To Bloom Dog Rescue, said Rubble deserves a second chance to shine and that every dog deserves a chance.
