This is Bonita. About a month ago, my wife saw her shivering and starving near our local grocery. She slept and ate like crazy for about a week, and now she is looking happy, feeling sassy, and full of love and playfulness! (Bald patch is from being fixed)5yr ⋅ gamrgrl ⋅ r/BeforeNAfterAdoption
This is Betsy who is about 17yo. She is blind and deaf, and has had several tumors removed, her mange controlled, loose skin removed, and some dental care. There are many things she struggles with, but she loves walking in tall grass, eating horse poo, and warm blankets from the dryer.3yr ⋅ gamrgrl ⋅ r/BeforeNAfterAdoption
This is Arya, a little girl found ditched on a trail 4 1/2 years ago.

Meet Fezzik, a new friend we brought home this morning. He was rescued from a hoarder, and is one of 72 living dogs that were recovered. He was covered in ticks, and was very underweight. He is also blind. After some time in quarantine though, he is better and took his freedom ride home today.4yr ⋅ gamrgrl ⋅ r/BeforeNAfterAdoption
This is King Rupert, First of His Name, a lovely little guy we rescued that was a breeder discard because he wasn't perfect enough for sale or something. Luckily, he is perfect enough to be in our family and I think he is growing up super handsome!4yr ⋅ gamrgrl ⋅ r/BeforeNAfterAdoption
This is Nikki, about 10 years old. We rescued her a few years ago after she suffered burns to her face. Now most of her fur has grown back, she is growing eyelashes again after almost 4 years, and she is bouncy, playful and loves to parkour off of everything!3yr ⋅ gamrgrl ⋅ r/OldManDog
Ceniza, 21yo, has that look that tells me she does not like the indignity of her diaper due to increased accidents, even if it's only a bedtime thing. She totally rocks it like a supermodel pup though!11mo ⋅ gamrgrl ⋅ r/OldManDog
Ceniza and Julian, 20 and 19yo, are not only stylish, they are relationship goals. And thinking that they are going to get a little bit of my hamburger. They totally got half!2yr ⋅ gamrgrl ⋅ r/OldManDog
Dany was dumped in a recycling bin, and made her way to us from a veterinarian her initial rescuer left her with. We got her at about 3 weeks old and had to hand feed her. Now she is filling out, and our timid little girl is playful lover that has become the guardian of our home.4yr ⋅ gamrgrl ⋅ r/BeforeNAfterAdoption
This is patches. She was a severely underweight senior with an un-healed broken tail, parasite problems, broken teeth, and a damaged liver. Now she is at her proper weight, her tail is healed, she's fully vaxxed, de-wormed, fixed, on meds for her liver, and she has full indoor privileges!4yr ⋅ gamrgrl ⋅ r/BeforeNAfterAdoption
This is Ceniza, 18-19. We rescued her almost 3 years ago with a visible cancerous tumor on her paw and cancer in her lungs, and she is still here running, playing, and being the boss of all the other dogs! Here she is on her way to a spa day to get her hair and nails done :)3yr ⋅ gamrgrl ⋅ r/OldManDog
Ceniza, 20, waking up from a long nap in her hoodie. She has been doing ok since her husband Julian, 19, passed a couple weeks ago.

This is Tincho, (12-13 years old) although some of the family calls him lt. Dan now and then. There is nothing that stops him from playing, running, snuggling, or loving! He is a very brave boy that is all about going forward instead of dwelling on the past.4yr ⋅ gamrgrl ⋅ r/OldManDog

This is Betsy, our newest rescue. Someone had bred her heavily, and abandoned her in her senior years, deaf and blind, with severe skin problems and issues associated to over-breeding and obesity. Now she lives with us in a safe space with a comfy bed where she eats chicken and gets scritches.4yr ⋅ gamrgrl ⋅ r/BeforeNAfterAdoption
Nikki has now been with us a bit over 2 years, and she has healed magnificently, and even feels safe playing hard with other dogs now and not just people. While she will always need daily care for her eyes and skin, her smile and playfulness make it all worthwhile! A little love goes a long way!4yr ⋅ gamrgrl ⋅ r/BeforeNAfterAdoption
This is my friend, Rowdy. He was a herding dog, but when he got hurt and couldn't work anymore, his owners left him tied to a bench downtown. He has trouble standing, what teeth he has are mostly broken, but he smiles, he gives kisses, and lots of love, so I took him home to start a new life.4yr ⋅ gamrgrl ⋅ r/BeforeNAfterAdoption
This is Mac, about 14, but we have called him old man since rescuing him over 4 years ago. He doesn't see well anymore, but he loves the sound of the water being filled, and will always listen to it until it finishes. Sometimes we guide him to each one so he can listen to more of them.4yr ⋅ gamrgrl ⋅ r/OldManDog
This is Nikita, a resident of our sanctuary for senior and special needs dogs. Someone threw hot grease on her face, scalding her, but she is making a great recovery and looks beautiful as ever!5yr ⋅ gamrgrl ⋅ r/aww
This is Mycroft. With the help of a lot of people, we rescued him from a guy supplying a dog fighting ring a few hours from where we live. He was starved and near death. He is getting better now, but has a long way to go. Details in comments.4yr ⋅ gamrgrl ⋅ r/BeforeNAfterAdoption
This is Drogo and Archers 2nd gotcha day! These brothers were slated to be destroyed at a month old when it was discovered they were deaf and their breeder deemed them unfit for sale. We got them, and though it took extra time, they are now working ranch dogs herding goats and belly rubs.4yr ⋅ gamrgrl ⋅ r/BeforeNAfterAdoption
This is Goop. She hung around our front yard for a few weeks, so we decided to have the vet worm and vaccinate her just to be safe. We figured why not get her fixed too, but found out we couldn't, because she was only a few weeks away from giving us the gift of kittens! So now we have more cats!4yr ⋅ gamrgrl ⋅ r/BeforeNAfterAdoption

This is Titziana. I met her at an adoption drive hosted at a local store today. She recently lost a leg to a car accident. She gave me kisses, and she is now our 14th adopted rescue in 3 1/2 years. She likes my chair and robe already.6yr ⋅ gamrgrl ⋅ r/aww
