In need of urgent care to a miracle transformation 🐶💔
Handsome Henry was severely emaciated with multiple medical issues when our RSPCA Inspectors brought him into care.

Confined to a balcony with limited access to food, Henry was one of the worst conditioned dogs our Inspector had ever seen. With his owners unable to give the level of care Henry so desperately needed, they decided to surrender him to RSPCA.
Our Inspector took him straight into RSPCA veterinary care, where our Vet Team were shocked when Henry weighed in at a tiny 13.8kg! Every rib, his hips and skull protruded. For his breed, Henry’s ideal weight should have been double.
As the Vet Team continued to assess poor Henry, they discovered he also had a number of other medical issues, including a heart murmur and was covered in fleas 🥲
After much-needed care and support, Henry bounced back and was adopted by his doting foster carer ❤️ Henry now lives a wonderful life with two other RSPCA dogs:
“He loves every human - big and small - and every other animal he meets. He is the sweetest man, loves to snuggle on the couch, has perfect cafe manners when we take him out and loves the beach. He is a "talker" and lets me know when the next-door neighbours kids are on their way.”
