Whenever stray puppies are rescued, they often have one or two health problems. Mange is quite common in stray dogs and it’s an uncomfortable skin condition that will cause dogs to lose fur. Thankfully, it can easily be treated with medicated baths and oral medications.
When a dog named Sage was rescued, he had a horrible case of mange. Around 60% of his entire body had no hair because of it and he also had a rather serious upper respiratory infection. Thankfully, a couple named Samm and Alexis visited the shelter and immediately fell in love with Sage.
Samm and Alexis really didn’t care about Sage’s illnesses. They were determined to give him the life that he deserved. Sage was quite shy meeting his new family at the shelter. However, as soon as Samm and Alexis took him back home, his playful personality started coming out.
Sage just started running around the living room playing with the dog toys on the carpet. He’s quite an active dog but Samm and Alexis knew that his mange was causing him some discomfort. The couple started giving Sage medicated baths to help treat the mange and they also applied coconut oil on his inflamed skin to soothe him and prevent him from scratching.
After the first week, Sage started to heal a lot faster. He even became best friends with Samm and Alexis’s other dog, Sparky. The two of them became inseparable and would always snuggle. Eventually, Sage fully healed and became a happy and fluffy puppy.
Now, Sage just gets to be a dog and living life to the fullest. Thanks to Samm and Alexis, Sage gets to experience what happiness and family are all about. He’s enjoying life and gets spoiled with so much love from his new parents.
Samm and Alexis are thankful that they get to be a part of Sage’s journey and family. Sage’s story proves that love can truly heal anything. Here’s a video featuring Sage’s story and transformation.
