Incredible People Came Together on Christmas Eve to Save Dog Found Dying on the Road (PHOTOS)

“She is our Christmas miracle,” the S.N.A.R.R. Animal Rescue Northeast team shared about Holly, a Pit Bull puppy from Alabama, who was just taken in by the rescue. Holly was injured, abandoned, and left lying in the middle of the street waiting for help. Thankfully, she was found by a kind person on her way home Christmas Eve. The woman who spotted Holly didn’t think the pup was alive but noticed her shallow breathing. Animal control was closed and the police did not help, however, Holly was visibly in distress and her rescuer could not leave her alone. She took the puppy home, cleaned her up, and made her comfortable. Then she put a plea for help on Facebook.

The spirit of the holidays did not fail the little pup. People soon stopped everything and came together to help Holly. “Strangers from around the country were busy messaging each other and frantically trying to come up with a plan and coordinating a rescue effort,” the rescue writes. Finally, S.N.A.R.R. was tagged in one of the posts and decided to help right away.

Holly was taken to the ER vet by a fireman who had just finished working overnight. She had two broken legs, one in a few places, and will most likely require an amputation. She also has lacerations and wounds all over her little body. Now, Holly is on IV fluids and pain medication until she is strong enough to go under anesthesia. She is not eating yet – but, hopefully, that will change very soon.

Holly’s life was saved thanks to a number of people who had hearts big enough to do their part in helping the poor, hurt animal. She has a very long road to recovery and needs positive energy – and financial help – before she can get her happy ending.
