Blossom’s journey from a scared stray to a beloved family pet is truly heartwarming. When she first reached the WOOF Pet Rescue Society in Oklahoma, she was not in good condition.
She was found trembling on the porch of an abandoned house. Several kind people tried to help her, but she evaded capture. Finally, a woman named Erika informed WOOF Pet Rescue about Blossom, and they quickly went to rescue her. Catching Blossom proved to be difficult.
“It wasn’t an easy catch, she did not want to be on the catch-pole and fought us all the way to the crate that we had waiting, but once secure in the crate she settled down and by the time we got to WOOF she was happy to be near us and although still cautious, seemed to be relaxed enough to enjoy some human contact,” WOOF wrote on Facebook.
Once she was safely at WOOF, they took her to the veterinarian. She was diagnosed with a severe case of mange but had no life-threatening illnesses or injuries. With plenty of love and care, Blossom was expected to make a full recovery.
After her check-up, the staff gave Blossom a bath, likely the first one she had ever experienced. Initially, she was nervous as they lathered soap into her fur. But soon, she began to relax and trust the people caring for her. She seemed to genuinely enjoy being pampered! After the bath, she lingered in the tub, soaking up the affection. She clearly loved the experience and looked wonderful afterward.
Blossom stayed at the rescue for several more weeks. The staff gave her medicated baths twice a day to heal her mange. Before long, her brown fur started to grow back. She also began to come out of her shell, enjoying time with the shelter staff and other dogs.
One of the families involved in her rescue grew very fond of her. They visited as often as they could, quickly forming a strong bond.

When Blossom was ready for a forever home, the family volunteered to adopt her. She was thrilled to go home with them! Now, Blossom is thriving in her new environment. She loves napping on the couch and playing fetch with her human siblings. We’re sure she still enjoys bath time too!
Blossom is a delightful dog who has found a loving place to call home! If you’d like to see Blossom’s beautiful reaction to her first bath.
