Amber has arrived! This morning, a good soul saw her in a ditch in Lancaster County, South Carolina, a brindle beauty ripped to ribbons by heinous brutality. Amber’s face, a horrible mess of bruises, was infected beyond measure, necessitating rapid reconstructive surgery.

Her nasal canal was ripped open as a result of the cruelty she underwent, leaving her panting for air. Her anguish was aggravated by her shattered jaw and displaced teeth, and her once-completed nose was now in pieces. Due to the severity of her injuries, the medical team had to sedate her for a CT scan, which was unprecedented in their expertise.

Amber, who was only two years old, had her entire life ahead of her despite her tiny physique and extreme malnourishment. She was drugged every day for almost five days as committed specialists worked tirelessly to give her a new lease on life. Amber’s face has been repaired and her nasal passages have been cleared as a result of their unwavering commitment, but the swelling acts as a reminder of her grief.

Her lovely demeanor remained unaffected, a monument to her fortitude in the face of tragedy. Amber displayed tremendous bravery and love as she healed and faced the hardships of heartworm treatment and spaying.

She relaxed after a filling lunch, ultimately cuddling up on her blanket for a restful night’s sleep. Today, she went for walks in her new neighborhood in the warm sun with her newfound siblings, Jack and Alice—clear evidence that she had found comfort and security in her new home.

Amber would like to express her heartfelt gratitude to all of her amazing friends who have supported her journey, thought of her as she set out on her path to a better life, and unconditionally loved her.
