Darlene was just getting her nails done when her manicurist casually mentioned that she was trying to find a home for her son’s dog.

“She said her son doesn’t feed it or give it water – stupid me, I assumed she would do it!” But Darlene assumed wrong. As an animal lover herself, the volunteer at Forte Animal Rescue asked to see a photo of the dog. She wanted to help. When she looked at them, though, she was shocked, “I don’t think this dog was fed. They just put him in the backyard and forgot about him.”

That’s when Darlene got up and walked out in the middle of her appointment.

She rushed over to the home and immediately took custody of the neglected animal. Named Smokey, the poor dog was 20 pounds underweight. When Darlene got him to the vet, they discovered that the starvation had understandably caused other health issues.

But after some much-needed care and plenty of love, Smokey started regaining his strength. He put on 20 pounds in just a month! Rescued in March, Smokey was adopted into a loving home by June.

And boy, what a difference a new family makes!

Now, he’s living the dream in a Los Angeles home filled with warmth. He’s got lots of grassy areas to tussle and play around with his two human sisters.

Months later, Darlene stopped by to see him for the first time since they’d met. Smokey recognized his savior immediately and showered her with kisses, his tail wagging so hard it almost knocked him off balance.
