The rescue dog with an unusual disease, who was an inspiration for others, has unluckily passed away

All the animals need love and care despite their condition. There are many ones with different health issues which can make them look unpleasant or not so beautiful. But they still have a great heart to overcome all the hardships and stay kind to others.

Such kind of fortune had the stray dog Phoenix, who was in such a horrible state, that people didn’t believe he was real. But thanks to the caring staff and his strong will he inspired others with his way to better life.

He was found in the street by a good-natured woman who was shocked by his sight. He was in a terrible state and his face was disfigured severely. He was so inflamed that he couldn’t even close his eyes. The reason was unknown but it was evident he needed help.

So the poor dog was immediatley taken to the Skiatook Paws and Claws Animal Shelter. And when the staff shared his pics on Facebook people didn’t believe in their eyes. They thought and criticized for using Photoshop. But in fact it was really Phoenix who was looked so tortured and impaired.

He was looked after by Family Animal Medicine who was searching for the cause of his condition. It was first supposed that the miserable dog was disfigured because of abuse. But then it was figured out that he had an unusual disease. Phoenix was checked by different vets who tried to discover the mystery of his such skin disorder. They finally found out that he had a rare auto-immune disease called Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

During the hard time all the shelter team was supporting and comforting Phoenix. Their love and care helped him to overcome all the difficulties. He felt comfortable, warm and always fed well. And though his appearance was alarming and frightening, he felt joyful and happy.

His story was spread on Facebook and people wished him good luck. They were glad to see him improving. He was not only strong and high-spirited personality but also an inspiring example for others with health problems. Everyone confessed that they were encouraged by his such a will and good heart.

Phoenix got many adoption requests but he needed to get a full medical treatment and be under the vets’ control. Everyone hoped he would completely cured. And he was getting better than it could be imagined.

Unluckily, after some months heartbreaking news was spread. Phoenix passed away. The team was sadly shocked. The farewell was so sorrowful for everyone. The one hopeful thing was that the sweet animal lived his best moments due to the kind and loving people surrounded him.
