🐾 DARWIN, Part 3 >> Healing a Broken Spirit with Kindness and Care
🐾 DARWIN, Part 3 >> Healing a Broken Spirit with Kindness and Care
Rescued as a stray in an under-resourced community, Darwin spent months on the streets, enduring the harsh reality of life without love or care. When the TEARS Animal Rescue Mobile Clinic team discovered him, Darwin was in a heart-wrenching condition, suffering from severe mange that had left his skin scarred, scabbed and infected. His fur was almost entirely gone, and he was infested with fleas, making every moment of his existence unbearably itchy and painful.
Upon arriving at the @tearsanimalrescue Veterinary Hospital, Darwin's road to recovery began. Our dedicated team immediately provided life-saving treatments: Nexgard to eliminate fleas and mange, antibiotics for his skin infection, and soothing medicated baths to ease his discomfort. Despite his fear of human touch, Darwin slowly began to trust again, responding to the gentle care and attention he desperately needed.
It's been a few weeks since Darwin started his healing journey, and his transformation has been remarkable. His fur has grown back, his skin is healed and his spirit is lifted. Thanks to the high-quality nutrition provided by our rehabilitation partner, Hill’s Pet Nutrition , Darwin's health is improving day by day.
Darwin is now ready to find his forever family - a loving home where he can experience the kindness and care he deserves. But his story is just one of many, and we need your help to continue saving lives like Darwin's. Your donation to @tearsanimalrescue supports our Mobile Clinic and Veterinary Hospital, enabling us to rescue, treat and rehabilitate more animals who are in desperate need.

🐾 DARWIN, Part 2 >> Healing a Broken Spirit with Kindness and Care
Remember Darwin, the stray from an under-resourced community? He spent months living on the streets, never knowing love or kindness.
When Darwin was rescued, he was in a heartbreaking condition; suffering from a severe case of mange that had caused extensive fur loss and left his skin covered in scars, scabs and open wounds from relentless scratching. His skin was inflamed, infected and unbearably itchy, worsened by a heavy flea infestation. Petrified of human touch, Darwin cringed at every gentle gesture. He had endured so much pain and suffering; it seemed he had given up on life.
It’s been three weeks since Darwin first arrived at @tearsanimalrescue. We’re happy to report that he’s responding well to veterinary care and TLC, and is well on the road to recovery! Our rehabilitation partner, @hillspetfoodsa, is providing the best nutrition to help boost his immune system and ensure his skin and coat flourish.
Thanks to your support, the future looks bright for Darwin ✨ Once his physical and emotional scars heal, he’ll be ready to find a loving family he can call his very own ❤️

DARWIN >> Healing a Broken Spirit with Kindness and Care
Meet Darwin, a stray from an under-resourced community who spent months on the streets, never knowing love or kindness. When we were alerted to his plight, the TEARS Mobile Clinic team set off to find him and bring him back to the TEARS Veterinary Hospital for much-needed treatment and a second chance at life.
Darwin arrived in a heartbreaking condition, suffering from a severe case of mange that had caused extensive fur loss and left his skin covered in scars, scabs and open wounds from relentless scratching. His skin was inflamed, infected and unbearably itchy, worsened by a heavy flea infestation. Petrified of human touch, Darwin cringed at every gentle gesture. He had endured so much pain and suffering; it seemed he had given up on life.
Our veterinarian immediately went to work. A Nexgard treatment rid him of fleas and mange parasites, while antibiotics were prescribed to control his skin infection and aid healing. Darwin also received a soothing medicated bath, which helped alleviate his discomfort and removed scabs, layers of dead skin and flea dirt. Our rehabilitation partner, @hillspetfoodsa, is providing the best nutrition to help boost his immune system and ensure his skin and coat flourish.
Stay tuned for Darwin's Glow-Up!
