From afar, Dolly looked like anything but a female dog. The inhabitants of Kansas Cityin Missouri (United States), who had seen it thought they were dealing with a wild animal and did not dare approach it. However, one of them ended up doing it and was kind enough to take him to the local shelter, that of KC Pet Project.
The team that examined her was in shock, having never dealt with such a serious case of neglect. “ She looked like a cotton ball on legs. In fact, you couldn't even see his paws, his fur was so matted. “, tell Abigail Anderson, of KC Pet Projecthas The Dodo.

Relieved after an intensive grooming session
After the examination, a long and tedious grooming work began. A good 2 hours of work were necessary to rid it of this “shell” of almost 800 grams which was weighing it down. His excessively long claws were also clipped.

“ She must have felt so relieved when that weight was lifted from her “, said Abigail Anderson.
The dog then had to learn to walk again, having had so much difficulty doing so because of all the hair and long claws which affected her mobility and balance.

“She is loved beyond measure”
The brave one Dolly has made considerable progress, reached milestones one after the other and regained strength, thus revealing his endearing personality. She was also able to discover the simple pleasures of life that she had been cruelly deprived of until then, such as feeling the gentle and pleasant warmth of the sun on her skin.
From now on, Dolly also tastes the happiness of family life, since she was adopted by one of the members of the team KC Pet Project who fell under his spell.
