The employee was heading to the donation bin at the back of the shelter, which was sitting directly in the sun.
A heartbreaking discovery
Inside, he found a tiny 9-week-old puppy. The poor little thing was burning hot from the sun beating down on the bin, and nobody knows how long he had been trapped inside.
The shelter employee immediately rushed to his aid. The poor pup was covered in ticks.
A long road to recovery
A health check revealed that the poor puppy was severely anaemic due to the ticks and was also extremely underweight. After a good bath removed all the ticks, the shelter staff discovered a completely different, much more energetic dog underneath. They named him Layne.
Thankfully, the adorable Layne was quickly placed in a foster home to recover and be pampered. He is now in safe hands and has been given a second chance at life. We wish him all the best.
