Even the thought of rescuing a furry soul from danger and offering them shelter makes this world a kinder and fairer place. You build something great, taking one step at a time, and that’s exactly what this story represents. A moving Instagram video showed a “shutdown” dog’s remarkable transformation from being completely matted to finding a forever “home” after a charity rescued him from the streets of Thailand.
Matted street dog finds forever home in emotionally-charged video
An emotionally-charged Instagram video showed a matted rescue dog’s tear-jerking transformation journey following a life-saving rescue. Happy Doggo, a charity, shared the story of Shaggy, a “shutdown” pup they found, trying to survive in the streets of Thailand.
The post shared that his fur had been crawling with “ticks and fleas” when they first found him. Meanwhile, it showed a Good Samaritan struggling to put a leash on him and get a hold of the dog. Shaggy appeared “terrified, broken, and invisible,” as the after clips captured him full of life once they removed his “matted,” tick-infested fur.
He then found “love” at the charity, where he received “care” and began opening up his heart slowly. However, the furbaby’s story didn’t end there, despite going from struggling to survive to becoming “the most handsome little man” who found “joy.”
In the video, the dog’s transformation journey showed him going from completely lost to once again finding hope and a “forever home.” He finally found “love, safety, and joy,” following his adoption in North Carolina, USA.
Commenters dropped emotional remarks about witnessing his life-saving journey. However, one in particular stood out. “These hoomans are not too bad but need more cheese!” read the comment from Shaggy’s own Instagram account.
Several other users shared how much they loved watching the rescue dog find a loving family. “We love you Shaggy so great seeing you in your new home looking so happy,” wrote a netizen, while many more expressed how happy they were for him.
