Chevelle’s Story: A Tale of Abuse, Neglect, and the Miracle of Love

It’s hard to find words to express the depth of our anger, sadness, and disgust when we found Chevelle. The three-year-old dog was attached to a huge chain, emaciated and dehydrated, with severe infections, injuries, and heartworms. His tongue was swollen and infected, and he had a large, necrotic wound on his chest. The smell of infection and decaying flesh was overwhelming, and his prognosis was guarded.

Despite the odds, Chevelle fought to live. With IV fluids, pain medication, antibiotics, and specialized wound care, he slowly recovered. His tongue swelling subsided, and he was able to eat and drink on his own. But the battle was far from over. His necrotic skin continued to spread, and his frail body struggled to fight off the infection.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, as Chevelle endured months of wound care at CSU. Through it all, he never gave up. He showed a strong will to live and a sweet, gentle spirit that touched the hearts of everyone who met him. And in the end, his tenacity and the love of his rescuers and supporters paid off.h-a-n-h
