Patricia Reyes was driving to work in Corpus Christi, Texas, when she came across a team of starving and overheated pups on the side of the road on a blistering warm day.
She immediately turned her vehicle around to assist the poor puppies. She attempted to feed one of them a sandwich and give her some water but she really did not want either.
Reyes published about the dogs on Facebook, in the hopes of obtaining them some help.
Elizabeth Lilly, who has been a dog rescuer for the past twenty years, saw Reyes’ Facebook post and agreed to help.
One pup that lived when Lilly was on her way, had passed away prior to she arrived. The pup, who Lilly named Ainsley, had crawled right into a book shelf and snuggled up inside as to look for comfort he had never known. He then laid his little head over the shelf and passed away.
His sis, Aline, passed away next to a trash bag, as though looking for food.
The surviving pup was in poor shape and needed instant clinical interest. Lilly got him into her car right away and drove her to Pee Wees veterinarian hospital.
Lilly maintained embracing her and telling her to hold on and fight. Her head fell back and her eyes closed and she showed up lifeless several times, but she maintained returning and didn’t quit.
She chose to name this pup Grace.
Thanks to his rescuers and an incredible vet team, Grace is improving every day. He will certainly go to a rescue next week, where he will certainly be available for fostering.
” I used to believe we had a stray problem; we don’t,” Lilly told 3 News. “We have a humanity problem.”.
” It must not be an option to dispose them on the side of the road in a community with the resources we have currently,” Lilly continued. “There are several rescues that will certainly take them, if you provide a chance.”.
Lily has since cremated Ainsley and Aline and has their remains in an unique location with the rest of her rescues that she couldn’t save.
