A large ball of fur was dropped off at the Central Missouri Humane Society by an unknown individual. At first glance, it’s almost impossible to tell what lies beneath the tangled mess of hair. The person who abandoned the pet said it was found in a small dog bed at a local supermarket. Shelter workers immediately jumped into action to help this little one, determined to uncover the identity of the creature hiding under all the dry fur.

“It appears this ball of fluff is a dog in dire straits,” the Central Missouri Humane Society announced on Facebook. “He can’t walk, has lots of fleas, and his bright fur indicates he’s sick. “Thanks to the folks at Pawsitively Precious, she was anesthetized and two workers spent three hours removing matted hair from her body. Despite grooming and bathing, the little dog couldn’t leave.

“On doing an x-ray, it was discovered that he had been in this condition for so long that his feet were deformed and he had several broken bones,” Pawsitively Precious posted on Facebook.
They did not give up on the little puppy, which they decided to name, Precious.

Even though he can’t walk or run like a normal dog, Pawsitively Precious he says “has a lot of love to give and will make a great pet for a very special home someday!”
