Heartwarming Rescue Story: Old Dog Overcomes Depression After Being Surrendered to a Shelter by His Owners

A Brand-New Start

Carlie Cahill, from Oklahoma, saw a picture of Link online and instantly fell in love. Despite many health issues, Carlie didn’t hesitate and brought him home .

Link had no fur and suffered from several serious infections when they first met.

“When I picked him up from the shelter, he had mange, fleas, and a yeast infection,” Carlie shared on Instagram.

“Since then, I’ve found out he has terrible allergies and bacterial infections.”

Link was shy and cautious at first, needing time to adjust to his new home. He was stressed after being abandoned and needed time to trust again.

His new family, especially his dog sibling Toad, supported him a lot .

Toad saw Link as a baby and was always there when Link cried or felt insecure.

“Anytime Link would sit there and whine, Toad was right there sniffing him, nudging him,” Carlie told GeoBeats Animals.

Within just days, the two bonded like real brothers.

Link began acting like a brand-new dog, even picking his favorite sleeping spot – Toad’s crate! He loved getting cozy there .

“Link loves to get cozy in Toad’s giant crate,” Carlie wrote on Instagram.

Within two years at Carlie’s home, Link’s fur completely transformed. He became a fluffy dog enjoying his new life.

Link and Toad now go on walks together, cuddle on the couch, and take cozy naps side by side.

Despite their size differences, they fit perfectly together, and everyone who meets them is amazed by their wonderful relationship!

Link Enjoying His Golden Days

Link, an 18-year-old boi living in Oklahoma, is savoring every moment. Despite having a cataract in one eye that partially affects his vision, he remains a joyful and positive dog.

No one is certain about Link’s breed. Many suggest he might have some Chihuahua blood, but he has a unique love for the rain which sets him apart.

His mom, Carlie, doesn’t mind his breed anymore. She is focused on giving Link the best final chapter of his life.

“I’m grateful to have found him, and I make sure he feels loved in these final years,” says Carlie.

Carlie, Link, and their friend Toad enjoy wonderful times together. They create cherished memories and embark on daily adventures that bring joy to all of them.

Link’s life has turned around from being a sad boi who lost his family to having a new family who loves him dearly.

He now has a forever home where he feels safe and loved every day.

This happy trio showcases the power of love and compassion, making every moment count.
