In the small town of Madera Ranchos, California, something extraordinary happened. A creature that resembled a “werewolf” was spotted near an orchard, standing on the side of the road. This poor animal had seen better days – with a mangy patch of fur, underweight body, and a balding appearance, it was hard not to feel sorry for him. But what made matters worse was his hard, scaly skin and damaged, sharp tail. No wonder people were afraid to even look at him. They assumed he was dangerous and ill. But there was one person who saw through all of this and believed that this creature deserved a second chance.
Enter an angel in human form – a woman who couldn’t bear to ignore the suffering of this “werewolf.” She stopped to check on him and decided to make a phone call for assistance. And that’s when Megan Bowe, founder of Adoptable Rescued Pup, answered the call. When Megan saw the condition of this poor dog, she was moved to tears. He was depressed, undernourished, and could barely stand up. Megan realized that this “werewolf” was, in fact, a very sick and neglected German Shepherd mix. She named him King and wasted no time in taking him to a vet’s clinic.
King had a laundry list of health issues, but Megan and the veterinarians decided to tackle them one by one. He needed surgery for his scabies, damaged pelvis, and broken tail. It was believed that he had been hit by a car, which explained the extent of his injuries. Months had passed since the accident, and his tail had started to heal incorrectly. His damaged pelvis made it difficult for him to move around and find food, resulting in extreme thinness and dehydration.
Despite his health problems making him look older than he was, King was only one year old. Due to the contagious nature of some of his illnesses, Megan had to keep him separate from the other animals she cared for. But King showed incredible resilience. With each passing day, he started eating more and more. His condition gradually improved, and he was ready for the much-needed surgery to fix his broken pelvis and tail.
The surgeries were successful, thanks to the dedication of Megan and the veterinarians involved. King had a long road to recovery, but with their support, he achieved the unthinkable – he stood on his feet again. Megan is hopeful that King will soon be ready for adoption. All she wants is for him to find a loving family and a place to call home.
Reflecting on this incredible journey, Megan shared, “It’s hard to think that all those cars passed him by and never stopped. No one wanted to bring him home or help him because he looked so bad… But all it took was one person.” It’s the compassion and actions of people like the woman who made the call and Megan who stepped in that make our world a better place.
