Hero's Story
Wait until you see this transformation!<br/><br/>We truly all believe if we didn't step in to help Hero that this dog would have surely died. Hero is 5 years old and was found running as a stray in Indiana. He ended up in a shelter who didn't have the funds to vet him and they asked us to take him. We did as he needed help right away as he was a complete mess. <br/><br/>Hero is a Great Pyrenees mixed dog. When he arrived in rescue in late November 2025, he weighed 48 pounds and you could feel his spine and ribs. Both of his ears were terribly infected, he had more worms in his poo than poo, and he also had a bad sore on his nose, most likely from rubbing on a wire cage. To top it all off, he was heartworm positive and spent the last five months being treated for heartworm thanks to your donations. He goes back into the vets April 9 to get his "all clear" to be adopted. <br/><br/>Thanks to the amazing care he received in his foster home, Hero now weighs 83 pounds. He gets along with the dogs in his foster home and is housebroken. He will need a physical fenced yard since he was found as a stray. <br/><br/>If you are interested adopting Hero, please read "How to Adopt" www.gr-rescue.org
