*DONATE TOWARDS ANGELS CARE*

While the condition of this dog seems inexcusable, I'd like people to keep in mind that the person responsible for this could also be suffering and unable to care for themselves, let alone their dog. We unfortunately don't know the situation, but it is being investigated.
I just made a small donation. Thank you for everything you do, it takes a big heart
Donated ❤
Shared to my friends. Poor little doggy
I just sent what I could.
Thank you, thank you 😢
The fact that this dog never growled or tried to bite anyone but only whimpered in pain makes this video even harder to watch. Thanks Vanessa for helping this poor dog!
poor Angel really looked like she had given up 😢truly heartbreaking. i’m so glad people like Vanessa are there to help her ❤
It brought me to tears. She is aptly named.
She is truly an angel
It was very hard to watch Vanessa uncover the tiny body wrapped in so much matted hair to be unrecognizable. It made me sad and at the same time, furious that this was caused by human(s). Many thanks to Vanessa for coming to her rescue.
Vanessa you did such an amazing job on the matted dog.thank you for all your care to all animals. They are so lucky for your compassion and gentle care. Love watching your videos ty again
Can you please keep us updated on this case? It would be so great to know how she is doing in the future! I hope she can one day feel the love of a forever home.
Angel is the perfect name for her
Every dog deserves good food, a soft bed & a warm lap
I bet one of the nurses falls in love! ❤
Yes please! Also, I hope you do a few for her after she's adopted!! ❤❤❤
Rocky Kanaka calls it a "Pupdate". I want pupdates on Angel!
Poor puppy!
I’d love to see her come back in for a regular groom in a month or two!
Vet here - I hope other groomers and animal protection agencies watch this video to understand the benefit of washing severely matted dogs to loosen the hair for clipping. Most groomers who do these types of grooms do not wash the matting, thinking it will make it worse, when in reality it helps greatly to reduce the pain of the groom and speed things up.
Thank you Vanessa for having such a big heart and helping this lovely lady find her legs and begin the road to recovery.
Yeah, I guess that when mats are starting to form and there's still some loose hair around, making them is worse, but in these case of extreme matting? Water absolutely helps. And if access to soap and conditioner, even better. You can even soak in layers (like do the top, soak again, and so on).
Bless her heart and bless you all for taking good care of her.
quick question, since the dog wasn´t moving for a long time, would you administer blood thinners like in bedridden humans?
@@NyaMoon_ Ooh -- I wanna know the answer to this one, too! I suspect dogs wouldn't be as susceptible to thrombosis, as their extremities aren't as long in relation to their bodies as humans', but I may be way off base. I'm looking forward to finding out.
Yes, this makes sense. The groomer mentioned the mats felt "like cardboard." Surely, when soaked in water, the mats would break down, just as cardboard and, more to the point, felt does when they're soaked in water.
Hands can be washed, tools can be sanitized and sharpened. Seeing that lovely Angel walk at the end was everything.
Absolutely. Tools are replaceable. Lives, be it human or family pet, are not.
Speaking as staff at this shelter... thank you for all you do. Angel, Ruger, Sailor, Saber, Arctic... I could go on. We are so lucky to have you.
@mrscrocodile Thank YOU and all of your co-heroes for all the work you do! Take care of little Angel (and the rest of the critters!)
Thank you for all you do for these animals as well! Vanessa's a miracle worker in many ways, and I'm so glad she can help you guys out, but the work the shelter staff does is not to be undervalued!
This comment made me cry 😭
I hope you find a great home for Sabre. I think he just needs a lot of calm, and I understand that can be difficult to find in the shelter
❤❤❤
Can't do a thing to change Angel's past. Can't see very far into her future. At this moment, she's warm, dry, fed, clean, and surrounded by loving hands and gentle voices. That's everything.
Couldn't agree more.
Absolutely agree ❤ love to Angel 💗
Finally.
Bloody made me shed a few tears.. you're quite right.
Yes! We cannot change the past but we will love her now 🤍🐾
Having two people is so vital. Did you see the tech comforting her and petting her through the process?? Gosh. This is so unbelievably sad… no other words…
I agree, it is vital. The groomer could work while the vet kept the animal calm or sedated if necessary. Great teamwork on this rescue!! I couldn't tell there was a dog in there with all that matting!
The channel Man's Best Friend has a couple who perform this kind of groom mostly on stray dogs they/organizations rescue in Serbia, and you can absolutely see the teamwork needed. It started with just the man doing it by himself, then he brought in his friend (she's now his wife). Even if sometimes at first glance it might not seem like the partner is doing much, as you said that comfort and petting just helps the animal, which in turn helps the groom.
I agree, and Angel lived up to her name during all of this!
Yea im so glad she had someone comforting her through the process, poor thing.
I never comment on TH-cam videos, let alone give money, but here I am, donating and commenting. This one made me feel so profoundly sad for the neglect that Angel must have endured and I ugly cried. Thank you to Vanessa and the Niagara SPCA. Please keep us updated on this sweet (aptly named) Angel. 💜
Thank you 🥹❤️🩹🐾
The people that did this to her need to go to prison for a very long time.(Assume it was on purpose ) Poor little girl. Thank you Vanessa and the SPCA for caring
💯
@@Hzleyes48 Throw away the key 😡😢
Likely Angel's human(s) are in terrible shape themselves. This was not intentional. They likely lost the ability to care for themselves as well as for Angel. Someone loved this pup and feels terrible about the situation.
I am praying for them and for dear little Angel. Please join me.
haven't seen all of it yet, but often times neglected animals' owners are too old or sick to care for themselves let alone their pets
I imagined some elderly person with dementia, or mobility issues, who needed rescuing, too 😢
Man, this felt more like a surgery than a groom! Thank you for all that you do!
That really describes it. 🥺
You hit the nail on the head, this is what it felt like
That was my thought too... "external surgery". Her little tail wag at the end of the bath was so adorable.
agreed
Thank you for helping this baby !😃🐶💞💞
I saw this in the news this morning and recognized your grooming suit. I was so thankful that you were able to step in and help Angel when she needed it most. Thank you Girl with the Dogs and SPCA Niagara for all you do.
Any other details on this?:( how does it even come to this...
can they try and track down who was responsible for this
@ritamanley2301 it's hard to say. I'm sure authorities are looking into it. There are animal cruelty laws in Canada...
Someone in the video commented it is being investigated.
It could be anything from a human without the capacity to understand, to someone unable to offer any care but refusing to let her go to another home. She definitely wasn't a stray, so someone used that as an excuse to get her help... and that's okay. She's being helped, and that is what's important now. The rest will be figured out
I wouldn't be surprised if this little girl was used in a puppy mill. Thank you for your gentleness in helping Angel. She needs to feel the kindness you are giving her.
I was thinking that too, but then I thought she probably wouldn't even be able to give birth with all that matting, let alone feeding the puppies. And the puppies would also probably get sick and die from laying in feces all day. I might be naive, but even a puppy mill has to provide some elementary care, if they wanna make money, right?!?
@@wangyun6087 Not necessarily. The dogs are commodities and puppy mills generally won't provide care for them, since that diverts funds. Keep in mind that this is years of neglect. If she came from a puppy mill chances are she grew too old to breed or the matting became so severe it impacted her ability to give birth.
No matter her background though, she is in a loving, caring environment.
Still wagging her tail and still gentle and sweer despite what agony she must've been in. Bless her and thank you Vanessa.
Angel certainly deserves her name.
I feel beyond grateful and thankful that Angel is loved by her groomers here. What joy it brings me to see her being released from her captivity of long neglect.
God bless you all.
I have tears of sorrow in my eyes thinking what this poor girl has been through, but also happy tears to see her walking at the end. Thanks for helping her.
You donated?
@@aliciabolling7263 Yes, that's a TH-cam super thanks. That goes to Vanessa, or you can click the link in pinned comment to donate to her local Humane Society directly for Angel's care.
@@aliciabolling7263 no,you are imagining what you see.
@@aliciabolling7263 yes, they did :) in the TH-cam app, there is a "donate" button
Thank you 🥹❤️🩹🐾
At the end you can see in her eyes "holy cow! I can stand! I can walk! The stuff I was trapped in is all gone! I can't believe it!" It's amazing.
thinking the same thing. it was amazing how calm she was too as it she knew what was to come.
I was going holy cow! as well, if this took several yes to accrue, her mobility was not a given 🩷
And this little shake after the second bath must have been so satisfying for her. Like "I´m a dog I can do dog things, yay!"
Does Canada have laws about severe animal abuse? The condition of this poor dog is unconscionable. Like others commenting have said, I had tears in my eyes. Thank you to Vanessa, the vet and vet techs who helped this sweet girl, and whoever found and rescued her. 💞
Neglecting/abusing a dog is the greatest betrayal. We created them to be our companions, our guards, our friends. They evolved with us, more than any other animal. They love us unconditionally. Their loyalty is absolute. And yet there are people who would treat them with cruelty and indifference...
Thank you for all you do, GWtD. What you do might not change the world, but it changes the world for that dog.
This video shows why I hate people at times. WTF is wrong with people.
This case really made me cry. How could anyone allow this poor little dog to suffer like that? You are amazing Vanessa for helping this poor little creature find her legs.
Me too
@@nancyclavette8139Me three! Just truly inexcusable! Just how could you let a dog or anything get to that state!? I'm speechless and rather angry!
So many cases like this
Same here. My daughter just walked by, and came rushing in asking, "Mom, what's wrong?" I told her about Angel, and she feels the same. We wish Angel the very best forever home possible. We both have senior furbabies, and we let everyone know that they are NOT spoiled, just loved very much. My little girl is 19, and my daughters big boy is 12.
Amen.
The little dog's patience and stoicism is evidence that she has sadly had long practice in silent endurance of suffering. It's so good that she is getting a chance at life. I hope she finds a loving forever home.
She will!
A very insightful comment.
Hello Vanessa, thank you so much for accepting to groom this poor little Angel❤ You are such a great groomer and so knowledgeable! I hope Angel will find her forever loving home, as she so deserves. Please would you give us an update on how she is doing. I have made a donation to help and thank all involved. Helene
She looks like she was used for breeding and spent her whole life in a cage. Thank you so much for volunteering to take care of this precious dog.
Yeah, it seems likely that someone viewed her as a product rather than a living creature.
That, or she was trapped in a hoarders house, and either the owner took her in or someone else found her and got help
I doubt she was used for breeding lately. Maybe at the beginning, but after a point she would not be able to breed or raise pups. All those infections would be passed on to her puppies. And I cannot imagine that anyone would buy puppies in such a poor condition. Also, too many puppies would die before they could be sold. A hoarder sounds more likely to me.
Agreed... also probably dumped after she was of no use for good people to find and rescue, also risking falling under suspicion for neglect... scummy all the way.
캐나다에는 동물보호법 없어요 한국에선 번식장 처벌받고 저 정도로 방치했다면 구속또는 벌금 크게 받는데
Her name is fitting; for everything she’s been through and having to deal with, she’s was an Angel through all of that. Thank you for helping her.
Omg. Poor thing. She was incredible during the grooming. I hope her tumours are benign and her future is filled with nothing but good things and happiness. Someone needs to be criminally charged for letting her get in that condition.
Agreed
She looked so good in her little coat out in the snow. I bet she feels a world of difference. I hope her health improves.
I've personally never done it; but I saw a groomer helping at a shelter have a quirky way of breaking down these types of mats. She puts the animal in a very warm, soapy bath (I honestly think she uses dawn dish soap) and then uses a waterproof percussion massager pressed against the mats and literally vibrates as much crud loose as possible. She said she got the idea from ultrasonic jewelry cleaners. It does, however, take two people. One to hold the animal still while the other isolates the mat and hits it with the percussion massager. She had a really nice water proof massager when I saw the process, but she started with just a cheap one that she put into one of those water-tight diving bags with the air sucked out.
That's really cool! And yes, Vanessa has said in the past that Dawn is one of the best soaps to use.
(I was just about to say 'gloves'?)
Vanessa - I would love to see an update on this dog... And it might bring in funds for your project.
Vanessa said that the shelter had no hot water and they were working on getting it restored
Today was my wife’s first day of chemo. She is going to be ok - this is preventative - but overall it wasn’t a fun day. Your kindness to Angel is a reminder there’s lots of goodness ahead. Thank you
Warmth and support to you and your wife.
Wish the best for both of you from Greece ❤
Love to you and your wife as well. Please help her stay strong. ❤
get her on the weed man
Sending prayers of health and healing to your wife. May your family endure this journey and emerge closer and stronger.
Those little whimpers just completely shattered my heart. First time that I cried during a pet grooming video...Thank you for helping her Vanessa, and thank you to the vet and the SPCA for staying with you during that time to keep her calm and help soothe her during the process. While her recovery is uncertain right now...at the very least she can walk again, and is probably being spoiled and loved by everyone around her.
This video was one of the most difficult to watch but also one of the most heartwarming to see that sweet pup finally get the love and care that she deserves.
Well said. It was very difficult. Hope many donate to her care
Me too. I just fast forward until the end.
I couldn't watch the whole thing, I skipped through.
I had to stop multiple times to take a break. But I was determined that if that sweet Angel could endure it, she deserved that I watch it. She is aptly named and deserved everything good in her future. Thank you Vanessa and everyone else for showing such care for her. Hopefully you've shown her not all humans are the monsters her previous captors are.
I subscribe to a couple of channels from European countries. All the animals are found abandoned and they help them get their hair cut back so they have a better chance at life.
I was a groomer for years, and saw some pretty bad matting. But that is definitely the worst case I have ever seen. Thank you for helping her, and please keep us updated.
How incredibly sad to think what this dog went through for so many years. People are cruel. Thank you for taking the time to help this animal.
Sometimes I feel absolutely embarrassed to be a human being. How anyone could allow this to happen to a innocent dog is insanity.
Thank you Vanessa, your a angel for these dogs.
I was thinking the same thing. How do I share species with this kind of human? Sometimes, I just feel such deep disgust. But look at angel now there's hope for her.❤❤❤
Humanity is absolutely beautiful, but generally people °suck°.
😐
Thank you for helping this poor little dog.
💜🐕💜
Exactly! This comment! A lot of people are giving the benefit of the doubt to the previous "owners", but we people who help animals in need have seen more of the evil side of humans. We deserve every awful thing we get as a species.
Take heart in the fact that you feel this way is a sign of your own humanity and love for creatures outside yourself
@@sylvia.s.s.I sincerely cannot give the benefit of the doubt to the previous owners. This is just awful cruelty through and through. I donate to a cat charity every month but I don't know how staff and volunteers steel themselves to it; my heart would break. I can only assume it's getting an animal happy and healthy that makes it all worthwhile.
Angel in her plaid coat!!! OMGosh, sobs of joy.
And walking. That sweet little dog.
The dog's name may be Angel, but you're the real angel for this work. What a horrible situation you've saved her from!
For real, every single person in this video is an absolute angel in my book, as well as the pup.
Please keep us updated on her. She has a long road ahead, and I think many of us would like to be in her corner cheering her on.
I am a 58 year old man watching this crying my eyes out. I am an owner of two small dogs and cannot believe how cruel people can be, it makes you wonder how they treat thier children. May a give you a big Hug for helping this poor dog out.......
I hope that the person who allowed this to happen didn't breed. They don't need to be passing THIS type of behavior onto their kids.
❤
Same here 😢
I’m a sobbing mess too.
OMG that's how old my mom is!! Lemme guess, you were born in 1966, the same year as my mom?
OMG ! What a mess someone left her in! Thank you for answering the call once again!
The bath water was nasty....poor thing
My heart swelled 3 sizes at the end when I saw her taking her steps. Thanks to everyone that helped this little dog. I hope she gets a good human.
Whew. I jumped to the comment section to see if puppers had use of the back legs
Vanessa, your patience and compassion is so heartwarming...this video had me in tears through most of it...poor Angel... I'm so glad for the brief update of her taking her first steps...what a resilient little pup...I can't wait to see her next groom...please keep us updated
My heart is absolutely crushed for this sweet girl ,may she make a full recovery and find a forever home,thank you so much for helping her❤
the fact that you burned through 5 pairs of scissors and a clipper shows both how neglected the dog was, and the stoic resolve you have when doing this. the world may be harsh but you and the staff there are amazing reminders that there is kindness out there
Who ever is responsable for the condition that poor thing is in should be put in jail! Thats not neglacting an animal. Its far beyond that. Its for sure a crime. Thank you for taking care of that job!
The person responsible has to be in worse shape. No human would do that to a dog unless there was something seriously wrong with them.
You are kinder than I would be. Woodchipper would be true justice, not jail time. There is absolutely no excuse for that level of neglect, absolutely none! 💔🤬🤬
Yeah, there’s a point where neglect becomes abuse, and we’re well past that. Neglecting a dog is forgetting to feed it occasionally because you’re black out drunk or some shit. It’s showing that your priorities are not where they should be. *This* was willful; there’s no way the person didn’t notice.
@@AlexofZippo not saying you're wrong; even in the case of sudden paralysis, you ask someone to take care of your dog, but sometimes there's a human who is just as wrecked as chas mentioned, and it wasn't sudden. Again, this is very likely to be abuse, but there are cases where even this might not be the owner's fault.
Likely the person meant no harm, but slowly lost the ability to care for Angel and themselves. This is a tragic situation. They need our prayers and empathy.💔🙏
The amount of pain Angel must have been experiencing would have MORE than justified any sort of lashing out in response. But she barely even freaking *whimpered* 😭😭😭
Such a darling old lady. Wishing her caretakers at the SPCA (and Vanessa too!) the joy of seeing Angel experience life while clean and mobile once more 🥹
Donation made. Angel's suffering is unimaginable. Can't move, burnt by your own waste, infected ears, diseased mouth and ulcerated eye, weak muscles - probably arthritic. Her whole body is painful. What sick individual watched her exist like this for years?
Thank you Vanessa and SPCA. This is likely the first bit of love and care of her life. Well done little Angel 👏 ❤
Unfortunately, there can be other explanations for her condition apart from "sick individual". An older person who died and doesn't have a close family, or was taken ill with cancer or heart attack and had to spend a prolonged period of time in hospital, or has dementia and at one point stopped caring for the dog. All that come to mind.
@andro99991 I understand you're trying to be kind and open minded. However, that was many many years of neglect. I have never seen a dog where all 4 feet do not touch the ground as they're encased and they can't walk. I've seen matted legs, but not so severe. If I was ill and my dog was suffering and starving I'd seek outside help. Ring the authorities. Do something. I can't accept an excuse for the suffering. If someone died it would still have taken years to get in that state anyway.
It’s heartbreaking. I can’t imagine what her life has been like. I keep looking at her precious face and wondering how someone can see her face and not feel anything.
@@Spike-ck5tjI agree! Who ever this sick person was, mentally or otherwise, they must've had visitors who have seen the condition of this pup over the years. Somebody Should've done Something before now. Poor sweet Angel wasnt let down by just one person. I pray she regains her strength and health and has the best life imaginable from here on out 💖🙏❤
@@Spike-ck5tj I kinda feel, as andro said, that this was probably an older individual who couldn't care for the dog. Given that Angel was called in as a stray, it could be that the person's family ignored their relative for many years, only visiting after they had passed, and didn't want to be shamed for the neglect so just opted to pretend they dog was a stray.
I’ve never cried during a dog grooming video before. You were her Christmas miracle this year. Thanks for rescuing such an Angel!
I can hear how upset the vet is too- she is such an angel too! God bless you all ladies!
Thank you, Vanessa and SPCA for helping this sweet baby. Whoever neglected this baby should 100% go to prison for this! If I were to never be able to care for my pets, as heart broken as I would be, I would surrender them. I could NEVER let this happen to them. I wouldn't be able to live with myself. That poor baby didn't deserve to be treated like this. I've never cried watching one of your videos, but here I am balling. Thank you for helping her out. I'm unable to donate, but thank you to all who have donated to her health care.
She’s acting so gentle with all the stuff happening around her. My heart is breaking and I’m crying. How can anyone do this or let this happen to such innocent beings.
I think maybe she realized that they were trying to help her.
The both of you are visibly shaken and still get through this. I am sitting here with tears in my eyes. This is horrible.
As heartbreaking as this video was, I’m grateful the SPCA allowed you to video in their facility. And that TH-cam actually brings in enough revenue for you and the animals so that this emergency care can be given without the worry of how to finance… I’m not even a dog person, yet I totally want to scoop this baby Angel up and give her all the loves and best life from here out. She’s going to end up in the bestest home when she’s healthy enough. 💚
I see video as a positive because this sad dog is getting a good groom and much needed treatment. But that bath water was so so dirty.
They know that a video like this is EXACTLY the sort of thing that drives adoptions and donations and they need so much of both during the winter.
Commenting to boost. I normally just fall asleep to your grooms, but I watched the entire thing with tears threatening. You're an incredible advocate. We're all lucky to have you, but today, Angel most of all
I was sitting here watching this while eating lunch and about 4 minutes in when you made the comment about being in your car within 5 minutes of them contacting you, something just overcame me and I felt the tears welling up in my eyes… this is so hard to watch but I’m so thankful that YOU were Angel’s angel 😭😭 thank you so much Vanessa for doing all you can to help these poor neglected animals… it hurts to know that there are people in the world with this level of evil in them but you shine light in the darkness by helping them. You deserve all the success this channel has brought you, and much more ❤
I agree 💯💯💯 YOU are her angel!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Same 😢
Same for me. I'm just crying my eyes out. As soon as I saw the link for donating I went right in and dropped some Christmas money on Angel. She's worth it! I hope they find a foster that can give her the care and attention she needs.
I was eating my meal too when watching this and had to stop because I wasn't expecting to get so emotional....
you and this vet tech have earned stars in heaven for your care and concern for this poor girl. thank you.
❤ I agree
I had one come into my shop 2 years ago in the EXACT same condition….. She ended up being the MOST beautiful 2 year old standard poodle with the sweetest personality I’ve ever met in my 15 year grooming career. I felt honored to be the one to set her free ♥️🐾
How can people be so cruel, I just don't understand it. Thank you for helping this beautiful angel. God Bless y'all
Oh no, this is so heartbreaking poor Angel. Thank you for helping her.
Let's all take a moment to appreciate these absolutely amazing professionals in this video, the passion and care you can hear and see from each of them is astonishing.
From the dog to the ones helping her, you are ALL Angels in my book.
I hope we can get an update on this sweet lady in the future, I feel like I need to see this dog happy and healthy in a loving home.
The saddest part…That is the most caring & love she received in her few hours there than she has had in her entire life 😮😢😊
I'd like to give props to the vet tech, doing an awesome job of supporting, and keeping the dog calm and comfortable.
That is horrendous 😢 I'm sat here with tears running down my face. The look in her eyes. Thank you Vanessa and the Humane Society for looking after this little Angel 💜🐾💜
What kind of miserable person could do such a thing to a defenseless animal. Thank you so much for helping her ❤
This is why Vanessa has over 1M subscribers, she cares on our behalf
I know I hate quite a few humans. All who do this to dogs!!
Follow the money.
This is what some DOG BREEDERS
think female dogs are here for.
Some Amish. Here, we have Amish and Menonite puppy mills.
In the first 30 seconds of the video, I couldn't even tell it was a dog. Poor, poor thing. Thank you for your work.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone involved!!
The first time I hit the play button, I gasped. How horrible. This poor baby!!! I'm so, so, SO glad she found you! 😭😭🙏
The thumbnail looked like her nose was put on sideways.
58 year old pipefitter/welder and absolutely in bits. How can anyone allow this to happen to an animal.
You are absolutely proof beyond doubt that angels walk this earth.
Thank you so incredibly much to both you and the SPCA. Incredible woman and incredible charity and people.....
Oh, Vanessa, that must have been absolutely traumatic for you and the Humane Society team. What that poor wee dog has been through is unimaginable. It’s heartbreaking to think of the others who are still suffering, but wonderful that you all have been able to help Angel.
This one tugged at my heart strings and at the same time raised the anger at the owner who neglected her so badly. I thinks this is the best groom you have done. Thank you. Please keep us updated on her progress.
I cried at the end when I saw her walking. Thank you for sharing this. You and the crew at the Humane Society are healers!
I started crying 2 minutes in
She’s so calm, just quietly soaking in the pets from the vet tech. She looks so tired and just relieved that her new situation is warm and the hands on her are gentle. Her protests are so quiet and sad. Shes a lovely little dog.
God. This amount of neglect takes *years*. Poor dog.
I hope she recovers fully and gets to live her senior years in safety and love.
you're such a hero for helping this poor, sweet soul, Vanessa. The world needs more people like you.
It never ceases to amaze me the resilience, strength, and trust these severely matted dogs have. Thank you, Vanessa and the Humane Society, for the work you do for all these neglected, abused, sweet beings.
Hopefully, Angel will be pampered and loved for the remainder of her life.
Any criticism I have is towards the people who let Angel get in this condition. Nothing but mad respect for the SPCA and Vanessa for their efforts to get her out of that mess of fur and for all the other strays they have helped over the years! Nothing but thanks as well for your amazing efforts!
I live in Alabama and am donating what I can..... Please keep us updated on her.... Breaks my heart..... Saying prayers for her recovery and a lovely loving home....
You all are the angels to help this precious girl. Thank you so much! My heart is broken to see such suffering. God bless you for your love and care. ❤
Human cruelty knows no bounds. Thank goodness you are here to help this poor soul.
Some of us can't help financially... but knowing by us simply watching, we are helping this sweet angel. You are an angel for helping this sweet baby
Omg I cried sooo many times!! I hope the people are caught and jailed forever.
Please keep us updated!! The end was so sweet!! I am so thankful for you Vanessa and to all the vets, vet tech, all the people involved.
I hope she will recover fast. What a sweet dog. Really, you can tell she just needs love. 💜🩷🐰 thank you for saving this baby to all involved
What if the owner was an isolated, elderly person that couldn't care for their own self or the dog?
@@janesawyer3495then the caregiver should have reported it. And is likely guilty of negligence for not doing so. if it were an elderly person who couldn't take care of themselves, how did they manage to let the dog out so it would be brought in as a stray? The dog literally could not move on its own.
@ I know I’m not the only one with this opinion…this is not just a short term thing. This dog was forced in a cage unable to walk or move for YEARS. You mean to tell me there was no person at all in all the years this dog was starved uncared for to help them? I don’t buy it.
This was years and years of starvation, cruelty, and isolation. There is no muscle on this dog. If this was an elderly person or someone with mental illness ok. Jail might not be for them. They need to NEVER have any animal again. Anyone else they need to be in prison.
I’m an extremely understanding person, this though is on another level of abuse. There’s no excuse, if anyone was in this person’s life and stood by doing nothing that’s something I do not understand either.
NOTHING could ever justify an animal being in this state. Absolutely nothing. This is horrifying and the people who let this happen are sick
@@janesawyer3495 they still deserve jail time. would you be saying the same thing if this was a severely emaciated child with matted hair? this was intentional abuse and neglect, its utterly disgusting that anyone could even consider any sort of empathy for the people/person who did this
In tears. Thank you all so much for the gentleness and love you showed her, my heart aches for this poor little lady, you freed her. May she spend her days peacefully and with love and warmth from now on.
Wow. Those initial photos… just… wow. There’s so much matting that I wouldn’t have even been able to guess what species she was if you hadn’t told me. Absolutely unforgivable.
I have a hunch that Angel was used for breeding at a puppy mill. Poor thing, she's so sweet. I'm so happy you could help her!
She got the most amazing gift for Christmas...comfort. thank you Vanessa for what you do. The world needs more people like yourself.
Her darkest days are behind her now ❤😭😭😭
Oh... thank you for helping this girl. There is a special place in heaven for both of you. Great teamwork getting her through this. I am a pediatric physical therapist and would love her to get some treatment from someone skilled in animal PT to rehab her movement system. I'm sure the longterm immobility has impacted her cardiopulmonary system, joints, muscle histology, and motor control... her gait!!! Prayers and hope for more TLC.
This poor little neglected old girl was so good for you. Would love to see more about her recovery/placement. Well done!!
I'm not a groomer, but I've had to do this type of thing when I was in a municipal shelter. We had no clippers nor pro scissors. Had to remove Matts with regular scissors (the Matts went right into an evidence bag). It is heartbreaking work. And tedious too. Thank you for grooming this poor girl. She deserves so much better than what she went through.
Thankyou for being so compassionate and caring to her. This one broke my heart.
I had to ready myself for this one, my heart almost couldn't take it. I was a surgical tech for decades and at one time considered becoming a vet tech. I knew this would be my Achillies Heel, and I couldn't. But you Vanessa, you can and did help this sweet girl and I am humbled. Merry Christmas, Angel and much respect to all of the caregivers in any capacity we serve!
That's shocking. Bless you for sorting her out and giving her back her quality of life, as well as the Humane Society for their kindness.
Poor Angel. thank you for helping her.
I am very glad Angel came to the ASPCA and got the help she needs! While it does not excuse it, cases like this often result from an isolated older individual who suffers from dementia or alzheimer’s and loses the ability to care for/remember their dog. I hope for Angel’s smooth recovery and please, check in on your older relatives and their pets!
Tears..... lots and lots of tears for this sweet girl..... She sure lived up to her name... she was a perfect Angel!! PLEASE let her finally find the love she deserves. TY Vanessa and the rescue shelter staff....
I don't tend to comment but I really want to thank you on behalf of Angel. She is obviously a fighter and it's a miracle she has survived. You are so calm and loving with all the animals you groom. ❤
My heart completely dropped when I saw that curled nail... my goodness, this poor dog must have been basically immobile for so long. I am go glad you guys were able to help her ❤ she deserves as much time of comfort and peace as she can get.
Both Vanessa and the Vet Tech are the most patient, loving people that i have seen in a long time. Little Angel is so lucky that they found her in time to help her
Not me sitting here and crying. Poor baby girl. Her first transformation is amazing. Hope to see the second, when she is back to her health.
Omg I was on the verge of crying when I saw her walking at the end of the video all I can say is thank you for all you do for stray and shelter dogs 🐕 you are an angel xx
I am speechless and tears are running. This little angel deserves the best forever home of the world. Thank you so much for your help.
This kind of selfless service deserves more donations, thank you so much for helping the poor baby.
14:48 hearing that sad whimper just gets to me. Instant tears to my eyes. That poor baby. You can hear the years of anguish in that single little whimper for help.
Vanessa, as others have said, you're the real angel here. So very grateful that you were able to help the poor wee one. Truly hoping that whomever did this to her is punished to the fullest extent of the law!
I genuinely teared up when I heard her little cries and wimpers. Thank you so much for helping those poor souls! I hope that sweet girl gets well soon and finds a loving forever home! ♥♥♥
I normally can't watch this kind of thing, but it feels like it needs to be witnessed. Poor sweetheart.
