The Gilmer County Animal Shelter staff and volunteers see many things that would repulse and dumbfound the common pet lover.

But on occasion a case comes through those doors that just breaks their hearts and nearly brings them to tears.

Someone tied Candy, aka Baby Girl to the GCAS door in the middle of the night and left her.

When the staff arrived the next day they found a pitiful Staffordshire bull terrier covered in open sores from a skin condition, infected with heartworms, and looking near death.

Thanks to the GCAS staff and volunteers, Candy has come a long way. Her wounds have healed and her beautiful snow white coat is finally filling back in.

Thanks to your donations Candy is now scheduled for heartworm treatment.

Candy’s story needs only one final detail for a happy ending…..you.

Candy is a sweet and gentle soul. She is good with other dogs, very friendly, and attentive. This eager to please Baby Girl would make a great addition to most any family.

If you can help sweet Candy find a forever home please visit GCAS today.
