A Great Dane’s Remarkable Journey: From Eating Rocks to a Second Chance at Life

Among the multitude of dogs waiting for a second chance, there are heartwarming stories that renew our faith in humanity. One such tale is that of Angelo, a Great Dane puppy who was discovered in a pitiful state on the streets, almost beyond saving. Thanks to the intervention of a compassionate woman who rescues stray dogs, Angelo received the care he so desperately needed. Although his recovery was challenging and required extensive medical attention, Angelo’s will to survive shone through. The remarkable transformation of a once-ailing dog on the brink of death is truly a testament to the power of love and kindness.

Wiltshire, the Great Dane puppy, was hardly moving because his stomach was filled with stones. This heartbreaking situation occurred because Angelo was so undernourished and desperate for food that he resorted to eating stones to survive. When he was brought to the shelter, he couldn’t eat or even pass stool due to the stones blocking his system, posing a life-threatening risk. Immediate surgery was necessary to save him, but there were no guarantees for the well-being of this poor Great Dane.

Luckily, Furever Rescue Foster stepped in and did an exceptional job in caring for Wiltshire. They made sure he received the necessary medical attention and care to help him recover from such a traumatic experience. It’s heartwarming to see organizations like Furever Rescue Foster stepping up to help animals in need like Wiltshire.

Justin Finning and his wife Deborah felt a deep connection to Angelo the moment they saw his photo shared by Hanan from Furever Rescue Foster. Despite the distance between them, they were determined to do whatever it took to help him recover from his expensive surgery and subsequent rehabilitation. It was clear from the beginning that Justin, Deborah, and Angelo were destined to be together.

Justin and Deborah have a long history of rescuing and caring for Great Danes with special needs. When they learned about Angelo, a Great Dane in need of medical attention in another country, they immediately stepped up to help save his life. Working alongside Hanan, they launched a fundraising campaign to gather the necessary funds for Angelo’s treatment. In addition to surgery, Angelo required physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, and a specialized diet, all of which came at a high cost. Despite the challenges, the couple was determined to give Angelo the care he needed to thrive.
