EXTREME MAKEOVERS

Among more than a thousand dogs helped annually by ESRA, many come into our care from extreme circumstances and in poor condition — some are sick, malnourished, infected with parasites, filthy and matted, suffering from neglect and perhaps even abuse. ESRA's mission is to aid even the most down-trodden of these Springers, giving them the extra love and care they need to help them flourish with their foster families in hopes that they may find their Forever Homes one day soon.

Some of our saddest cases blossom like butterflies from cocoons, both physically and mentally, and leave ESRA's care to enjoy the lives they so deserve with the love of very special families. We present a few of these success stories here as ESRA's "extreme makeovers."

A WORK IN PROGRESS

There is a little fellow in Minnesota who is hoping to become one of ESRA's "butterflies." This is Ben's "before" photo — his "after" photo doesn't exist yet unless you consider in your mind's eye a hopeful vision of his future. To give our readers a better sense of what some of these dogs endure, we want to share the ongoing story of Ben in Minnesota and allow you to follow his progress through photos and updates as his foster family helps to control his severe allergies. Click here or click his photo to read more and watch what we hope will be yet another "extreme makeover."

This "before" photo of Apollo was taken ten days after he was brought into ESRA's care, nearly dying from starvation. His foster mom worked almost four hours shaving away his matted hair and soothing underlying urine burns. His handsome "after" photo is ESRA's reward for ensuring him a happy and well-fed future!

Suffering from a terrible case of Demodectic mange, Chelsea came from a shelter that recommended euthanasia for her. However, with the love and care of her wonderful ESRA foster home, she has blossomed into the beautiful girl you see here and is now living out the rest of her life with a loving new Forever Family.

Sometimes "before" and "after" photos just can't tell the story because what a dog has endured and has overcome can't be seen in a picture. You can certainly see that Hannah was much underweight in her "before" photo — she just barely weighed 20 pounds — but you wouldn't know that she also had mammary tumors, internal parasites, a "digestive disorder" to put it politely, and blood counts high where they should be low and low where they should be high. She was very close to death when she was first brought to ESRA. With extra special care and attention from her foster family, feeding her around the clock every hour just little bits at a time of home-cooked beef liver at the start, she gradually regained enough strength for the vet to tackle her other health issues, including spaying her. The perfect Forever Home would have to be one willing to provide a special dietary regimen as well as the love and affection she was starved for! The "after" photo proves that the perfect family was indeed found and Hannah now has a full and shiny Springer coat and today weighs almost 38 pounds — a definite happy ending for this beautiful little girl!

Matted and filthy, Maxwell came into rescue after a year of neglect. First stop — the groomer's. After stripping down his coat, the groomer discovered his back legs, tail and rear had severe urine scald and the open wounds infested with maggots — one of the worst cases of neglect ESRA had ever seen. Nursed back to health in a loving ESRA foster home, Maxwell found his Forever Home very quickly.

Missy lived her whole life in a backyard dog house with little attention to grooming and hygiene. When she was relinquished to ESRA in her senior years, the vet had to sedate her to rid her body of mats and foxtails. Her ears were so infected she had lost her hearing. She blossomed in her ESRA foster home and soon started a new life as an adored newcomer in her Forever Home.

Little Maddie came to ESRA with untreated allergies that left her entire body oozing with infection — her ears dripped like faucets. With services and medications donated by a professional groomer and vet, she was quickly set on the road to recovery. Today she is healthy, happy, very beautiful and extremely spoiled in her Forever Home.

Poor senior Benny was pulled from a shelter in Ohio. Blind, malnourished, and with mange, this little guy was suffering from the inside out. He was nurtured back to health by two ESRA foster families, and was later adopted by one of them.

The "before" and "after" photos of Gidget can't show the whole story of how the quality of her life has improved under the care of ESRA. What a good grooming session did for her is obvious. What you can't see is how much better she feels now that she has received treatment for her Lyme disease, daily medication for the severe arthritis in her hips, pain medication for her jaw—diagnosed as osteosarcoma—and vitamins for her failing eyesight. Because some of her medical conditions are insurmountable, total "success" is not our goal for Gidget but we promise she will live the rest of her sweet life as comfortable as possible through donations and care from ESRA supporters who love the "little dog with the big spirit."
