My name is Sunny. I’m a four-year-old Golden Retriever with a big heart and an even bigger tail wag. But for nearly a year before I came to the Lehigh Valley Humane Society (LVHS), I had been feeling unwell. I didn’t know what was wrong with me. All I knew was that I felt tired all the time and my tummy hurt. My humans weren’t sure how to help, and ultimately, I came into LVHS’s care.

I was so weak from weight loss, I couldn’t even stand. I’d lie there, wagging my tail with all the strength I had, hoping someone would see that I still wanted to live. And thanks to generous people like you, I got a second chance at life I never thought I’d have.

At LVHS, they ran tests, gave me fluids, and carried me outside when I couldn’t walk. Eventually, they discovered I had eaten something I shouldn’t have—a sock—but that was only one part of my struggles. My organs were far smaller than they should have been, and I was severely malnourished.

I had to be fed just a little at a time, or I could have gone into shock and died. I kept losing weight. Some days I wouldn’t eat at all. Then my fur started falling out, and my skin turned red and itchy.

Through it all, the caring team at LVHS never gave up on me.

It took six months of care, patience, and love. I went from 23 pounds to 50. Thanks to people who cared like you, I get to be a dog again—chasing toys, cuddling my human, feeling strong. I got a second chance. And now I'm happy with my new foster mom, Amanda.

I’m living proof that hope is never lost, especially when you have people who believe in second chances. Please help make that second chance possible for another life like mine.

With tail wags and gratitude,

Sunny
