Dog Found In An Old, Ragged Jacket Undergoes Amazing Transformation
It is not easy being an animal rescuer, especially at night. In total darkness, it is difficult to do anything, much less catch and rescue a fearful dog.
Suzette Hall, the founder of Logan's Legacy, prefers to undertake her rescues in the morning because of this. But when Hall urgently received news of a screaming, very ill puppy that had been abandoned, she instantly loaded her car with treats and a humane dog trap.
“I went out at midnight,” Hall says. “She was out in the middle of nowhere, on a one-lane road. I knew I had to get her.”
Hall initially struggled to locate the dog in the darkness. However, she was ultimately able to find the pup thanks to a unique reflection.
“I saw her by her eyes,” Hall said. “We named her Moonie because it was the moonlight that helped me notice her.”
Moonie had stunning eyes, but the rest of her body was in terrible shape. Her life was in danger.
“She was skin and bones wearing an old, dirty jacket,” Hall said. In fact, because Moonie was so thin, Hall was initially certain that she had captured a coyote.
“She had mange and scabies, and everything,” Hall said. “When I got her that night, she smelled so bad.”
This is Moonie. She was found in a dirty old jacket, abandoned and starving.
Hall, though, remained by Moonie's side the entire time, despite her condition. Until the veterinarian's office opened in the morning, the two slept in the car.
After seeing the vet, Moonie started receiving strict treatment for her several diseases, which called for a six-week period of isolation. Moonie entered foster care after completing her treatment.
But because of her endearing character, her time as a "foster pup" was short-lived. She found a forever home pretty quickly.
“She went to two different foster homes,” Hall said. “They were going to put her up for adoption during her second foster stay, but her foster mom said, ‘No, I can’t part with this gal. We can’t let her go.’”
She got her name thanks to her stunning eyes. But the rest of her body was in terrible shape.
She was so skinny, her rescuer thought she was a coyote. She also had mange and scabies. But after a six-week treatment
She is happy and healthy:
One of her foster families decided to adopt her because they fell in love with her wonderful character. They simply couldn't let her go.

According to Hall, Moonie has “the most amazing life now.”
She has not only been thriving in her new home by the beach and undergone a beautiful physical makeover, but she is also taking advantage of the affection and attention that come with being the only child in her new family.
“She looks like the most beautiful dog you’ve ever seen in your life now,” Hall said. “She deserves the world. And she deserves to have her story told.”
It is amazing to see what love and proper care can do.
