Help Candy Find the Sweet Life She Deserves

Candy’s life almost ended before it even had the chance to begin. At just two months old, she was thrown away like trash and left to suffer in a dumpster in the heat. She was very sick and completely helpless. Somebody found Candy and brought her to the shelter, but when staff realized she had canine papilloma virus, her future was once again at risk.

The shelter had no choice. If they could not find rescue placement, they planned to euthanize Candy to stop the spread of the virus. Canine papilloma virus (CPV) is contagious and causes painful sores in young puppies with weak immune systems. Saving Hope Rescue couldn’t let her story end that way. They stepped in, rushed her to the vet, and made a promise: Candy would be given a second chance.

Today, Candy is in veterinary care, fighting to get stronger every day. She’s already had her first bath, is showing signs of appetite, and has a growing spark in her eyes. It will take time, patience, and resources, but Candy’s spirit is undeniable. She’s ready to heal and she’s ready for happiness ahead.

Candy’s medical care will be intensive and costly, but she’s worth every effort. Saving Hope Rescue is committed to showing her that her life matters. Every donation helps Candy move closer to a healthy, joyful future. Please consider donating today.

After a brief stay at the vet and lots of love in her foster home, Candy is already doing (and feeling!) a lot better than on Day 1 of her rescue. It’s amazing to see her blossom; she adores people and gets along great with her foster siblings who are cats! She's bursting with puppy energy which makes us so happy to see knowing her hard past.

We could still use all the help we can get supporting Candy girl’s medical bills and recovery. Every little bit helps, thank you so much for following her healing journey!
