Fresca was picked up in Portageville, MO. She was living around the car part plant in town. She had been living off scraps that the workers fed her. She was a stray for a few months unable to be caught. When she was finally caught Animal Control was called to come and get her.
She was taken immediately to the vet and then placed into a temporary foster home while she awaited transport to Placing Paws. Fresca’s neglect left her emaciated and covered in mange resulting in secondary skin infections. It has taken months of treatment and loving care by her foster parents to get her skin to clear up and her coat to grow back. She has also been getting good quality food, medication, regular medicated baths and a wonderful supplement called Fido Vite.
Look how beautiful she is now! Fresca is a wonderful dog, very sweet to everyone she meets, great with other dogs and so deserved a second chance at a happy life. Her name used to be “Mange Dog” and she used to live on the streets scraping for any food she could find. Now she is “Fresca”, she is adopted and spoiled rotten, just the way it should be!
