was originally an abandoned pitbull, and turned into the best firefighter dog! In the past, Ashly was a dog that didn't eat three meals a day. The original owner seldom fed him or took him out for a walk. In the end, they gave up Ashly.
But Ashly is lucky. Erica Mahnken, founder of the animal rescue organization No More Pain Rescue, and her fiance Michael Favor rescued Ashly in January last year. At that time, the two received a phone call and were told that a couple lived in an abandoned house. There was neither water nor electricity in the house, and they also had a dog inside.
After a blizzard hit, the couple should have gone to find a warmer place and left the dog alone in the house. Erica said that when they finished the phone call with the person who briefed them, they rushed to the empty house and found Ashly.
fiance Michael asked Erica to stay in the car first and ventured into the empty house to find the dog. He later told Erica how bad the condition inside was. The windows were broken, the inside was very cold, there was no food or water, and dog excrement was all over the space.
But Ashly didn't seem to be injured and walked to Michael happily. It ran out and jumped directly into the car. Ashly is thin, with obvious ribs and severely malnourished. The doctor said it was 25 pounds short of normal weight. And the most distressing thing is that Ashly's head has marks of being burned by smoke.
Because the animal rescue organization No More Pain Rescue does not have enough rescue resources, they must find a way to get Ashly into the adoptive family quickly. Later they remembered that a friend was in the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) and knew that there was a dog at Fort Pitt Station. So they decided to ask the fire brigade if they could be fostered until Ashly found a permanent home.
And Ashly seemed very satisfied with this arrangement. When it walked into the fire station, its tail kept wagging, licking everyone and greeting everyone. Erica said that Ashly has a cheerful and lively personality. Due to the original environmental factors, she was worried that she would be a timid and frightened dog. At first, everyone did not expect that she would be a relative's dog, but she reacted to people. So close! The most pleasant thing about
is that the fire brigade called in a few days later and said that they would keep Ashly! The fire brigade decided to adopt it. Every member of the team loves Ashly very much. It is now in his home! Erica said excitedly, when I first walked into the fire brigade, I knew Ashly belonged there!
Ashly is now a full-time employee of the fire brigade! It runs with the team members, attends work together, plays together on the roof, and even has an exclusive Ashly seat on the fire truck. And the best thing is that Ashly still has food to eat!
