When Ricky the puppy started showing signs of a serious sickness, his owner knew he would need some help to take care of his beloved dog.

Unfortunately, he was unable to afford the vet bills. His dog had rickets and would need treatment and a special nutrition plan.

Fortunately, he knew the right people to call for help.

The team behind the rescue, Sidewalk Specials, makes it their mission to “rescue dogs from abusive situations and off euthanasia lists,” even without a traditional shelter — instead, they rely on volunteer foster homes to help dogs recover and find their forever families.

When they responded to the owner’s call for help, they knew that Ricky was right where he needed to be, his owner just needed a little support.

In Ricky’s case, the team used donations from their supporters to get him diagnosed and rehabilitated. With the proper treatment plan in hand, Ricky’s owner was ready to give him a long, happy and healthy life. His transformation has to be seen to be believed!
