On a cold New York afternoon, a weary little dog wandered the streets, his body frail and his spirit nearly crushed.

His coat was patchy from infection, his paws inflamed to the point that every step seemed unbearable.

No one knew how long he had been suffering, but one family who found him could see he was in desperate need of help. They offered him food, shelter, and a safe place to rest, but it soon became clear that his condition was beyond what they could manage on their own.

From Broken and Weak to Bright and Free

Their kindness, however, became the turning point of his story. They reached out to AMA Animal Rescue, an organization known for stepping in when animals have nowhere else to go.

When the team at AMA first laid eyes on the frail pup, they immediately understood the seriousness of his situation.
