Help Revive Reba, a Dog Returned to Shelter in Horrific Condition

Just a few months ago, Reba left the Fort Worth Animal shelter as a healthy, happy puppy with the promise of a bright future in a forever home. It was a wonderful day. But fast-forward, and at only eight months old, she returned—a shell of the dog she used to be. What should have been her chance at a forever home turned into a nightmare.

Reba left the shelter at 30 pounds, not fully grown, and returned at just 17 pounds. Her emaciated, frail body was barely able to hold herself up. The once vibrant puppy was gone. She was covered in fleas, severely anemic, and heartbreakingly weak. Saving Hope Rescue immediately intervened and are now helping her recover. Reba will never face trauma like that again.

Despite everything, Reba hasn’t given up. She’s still eating and drinking on her own—a small but powerful sign that there’s hope. But she is far from being out of the woods. She’s in critical condition and needs extensive emergency medical care, hospitalization, and round-the-clock monitoring to give her the chance she deserves.

Reba's life hangs in the balance and Saving Hope Rescue needs your support to save her. Please help show Reba that her life matters, that she is loved, and her suffering is over. Reba thought she had her happily ever after once before. Let’s make sure this time it’s real.
