Imgur user riahriahbobiah never thought there could be a lifeless dog among old car parts found inside a cardboard box, but to the finder’s surprise, inside the box was a mangy, barely hanging to life dog now named Lily.

“At first I thought she was dead,” posted riahriahbobiah, “until she [the dog] saw me and her tail started thumping against the box.”
The rescuer new the dog was in need of medical attention and therefore reached out to animal rescue organizations who could help bring the sick dog back to health.
A veterinarian who examined the dog determined the loss of most of the dog’s fur was due to mange, and thankfully the skin aliment was something easy to fix with a bit of medicine.
Under the care of foster parents, Lily learned what love and a comfortable bed felt like, and since her rescue, she has experienced many other good things like toys, yummy food, walks and friends. All this probably for the very first time.

No one knows who neglected Liy to the point even the dog herself gave up on life, but thanks to riahriahbobiah, Twin Cities Pet Rescue and Lightshine Canine, the mangy pup now knows life is worth living and there are good humans she can trust.

Lily is not ready for adoption yet, but will be soon and will then get a chance to know what living in loving forever home feels like.

Breaks my heart ! 🐾
Thank you for your kindness to everyone who is helping this beautiful animal. Does anyone know where she was found? are there any cameras in the area? Was there a name or address on the box she was found in? It would be the GREATEST thing if someone had info on the dog and or who placed her in the trash….Karma’s a BITCH and she’s coming for you. If you see something….SAY SOMETHING.
Depresses me more and more reading these stories of abused animals….I miss my girl terribly and wish my applications could be responded to…..guess it’s because of the holidays and need to wait….
The fact that she was ignored by so many, but still wagged her tail at the sight of a human being made me want to cry. 🙁
I cant understand people. Who would do this
God bless for those who rescued this dog
As a fellow mangy garbage dog, I wish good health to Ms. Lily
thanks to the people invilve in this rescue……

I hope whoever did this dies a slow agonizing death.
🙏👼🙏
