    3 weeks ago I ran into this little guy when jogging. He was tiny and completely broken from living on the streets. We’ve been fixing him up and you won’t believe Jimbo today… (1/7) 🧵

  2. #2

    Jimbo lived on a building site but when the workers left he was alone. He was hungry. His body was being eaten alive by ticks and he had lots of injuries. Jimbo had given up on life (2/7)

  3. #3

    His body was shredded apart in so many ways. Our vets saved his life. His anemia was nearly fatal. He couldn’t eat for days. We really did get him just in time. Jimbo is only about 2 years old. A baby (3/7)

  4. #4

    For over 2 weeks all he could do was sleep. He would even sleep standing up. His body was completely shut down. But all that rest did him wonders… (4/7)

    This is Jimbo today. The light has fully come back into his eyes (5/7)

  6. #6

    While he couldn’t even walk 100 yards at first he now has a pep back in his step. This is dog who can’t wait to enjoy the rest of his life (6/7)

    Jimbo was at the beach today to celebrate his comeback. He will be getting a home soon. 3 weeks difference in these photos. Jimbo was down but he wasn’t out ❤️ (7/7)
