This little guy was so skinny, all he had in his tummy were worms. It's amazing he was even able to stand, let alone walk and have his tail wagging! But he happily and with much hope, came strutting up this strange woman's driveway ready to be rescued. We don't know this sweet baby's backstory, but we know his future, and it's bright!
The woman, who recently had to put one of her senior dogs down that she raised from a puppy, so this dog in need. Some might be a little freaked out when a stray dog just waltz up their driveway, but not this woman. She immediately put on a caring motherly voice and soothed the dog towards her. He came to her without hesitation and a wagging tail.

"I never expected any of that to pop off or the support and the love that I've gotten from every single one of you. I just want to say thank you so much. It, it really shocked me when he walked up the way he did. I actually just lost, recently, two of my dogs. One of them was my old man Rosco, who I'd had since he was six weeks and he was 11 when he passed. And so there's something that really tells me that he had sent this pup to me. Maybe not for me, maybe a lot more for Ares. Because Ares really needed it.
You know, I'm one of those people, like I watch a lot of dog rescue things and I just never would have expected something like that to happen to me. When it did, I looked for rescues and I was trying to find a no-ki!l shelter… The lack of support was astonishing to me.
Thankfully, my mom reached out to one of her friends who regularly rescues dogs and is helping sponsor him so we can get him the treatment needed. He's done with his first round of worm medicine, but he's got [a long way to go]. But he's being fed and cared for properly. I'm going by vet recommendations and personal experience, because this is not the first animal that I have rescued. Actually, three out of the five animals that I have, I rescued. It's kind of something I do.
So if y'all would like to hear more about my rescues and what I got going on, let me know…"

She named him Ares, after the Greek god of war, because he's a fighter. And now he is living his best life. She has taken him into her home and given him the love and medical care he needs. She was even able to get connected with a rescue to get him sponsored so she could afford all of the care that he needs. He has already gone through his first round of deworming, but still has a long recovery to go. That being said, he's very friendly and already making friends with her friend's furbaby.
Ares is working hard to put on some weight and get healthier, with his chosen human helping him along the way. He is now in a warm home, with lots of food, treats, care, love, and patience. The woman likes to think that her passed dog sent the pup to her, both to help her heal and to rescue the sweet baby. He deserves a beautiful life, and he was unafraid to walk up a stranger's driveway to get it.
