We love seeing transformations that remind us of the incredible resilience dogs possess, even in the darkest circumstances.

In the cold streets of Sarajevo, a frightened dog found her only refuge in an abandoned car tire, seeking shelter from both the bitter weather and cruel reality of life as an unwanted stray.

This is the story of Neve, a dog who went from surviving in the shadows to discovering the warmth of true love and care.

Finding Hope in the Darkest Places

Life on the streets had taken its toll on the young dog, who suffered from severe demodex mange that left her skin bleeding and raw.

While some kind souls offered scraps of food, others chased her away from their doors, seeing only her illness rather than her gentle spirit.

The approaching winter meant certain death for this fragile soul, whose only wish was a peaceful place to rest and enough food to survive.

A New Beginning

Everything changed the day a rescuer discovered her and made a heartfelt promise – this dog would never feel unwanted again.

Named Neve, she experienced her first taste of comfort with a warm bed, proper medical care, and her very first toy.

For dogs recovering from trauma like Neve, having the right supplies makes all the difference. Check out specially chosen comfort items at our Daily Dog Club store.

The Journey to Health

Even in safety, Neve’s body remembered the cold, trembling despite the warmth of her foster home.

Her recovery journey included medicated baths, antibiotics, and loving coconut oil massages to heal her damaged skin.

Day by day, the scared street dog began to blossom into a joyful, loving companion.

A Beautiful Transformation

Two months after her rescue, Neve returned to visit her old neighborhood – not as a desperate stray, but as a healthy, cherished pet.

The formerly unwanted dog had transformed into a gentle soul who shared her love freely with other dogs and even cats.

At 85 days post-rescue, Neve received her first vaccines, marking another milestone in her journey from survival to thriving.
