Just days ago, a heartbreaking image of a starving, injured dog caught the attention of a Good Samaritan, who immediately reached out to Stray Rescue of St. Louis.
The call led to the discovery of Jessie, a young pup who had been scavenging for survival on the streets, her fragile body showing the toll of prolonged suffering.
No one knew how long Jessie had been alone, but her condition made it clear she had endured far too much. When rescuers arrived, she was in urgent need of medical attention.
A deep head wound, a swollen infected eye, and a tongue that hung limply from her mouth all told the story of her pain. Even in the car on the way to the veterinary clinic, the smell of infection was overwhelming.

<p>But despite it all, Jessie’s spirit began to shine through almost immediately. The one-year-old, weighing just over 20 pounds, quickly captured the hearts of the hospital staff.</p>
