A shelter dog, a struggling mother — and a $736 miracle that changed everything

Scorpio is a 4-year-old Pit Lab mix living with her mother in a converted motel used as a homeless shelter.

Her mom is disabled and trying to secure stable housing.
Despite everything, she refuses to give up Scorpio. In a world full of uncertainty, they are each other’s family.

One day, Scorpio was attacked by another dog inside the shelter.
She suffered multiple scratches, and worst of all — a deep, swollen wound on her right leg that began oozing pus.

Her mom panicked. She had no money, no resources. Desperate, she searched online — and stumbled upon the name:
Feeding Pets of the Homeless — an organization that helps pets belonging to the unhoused.

After reaching out, a case manager contacted Scorpio’s mom.
She was guided to take Scorpio to a nearby veterinary clinic.

There, Scorpio received wound care, antibiotics, and pain medication.
The bill totaled $736 — fully covered by Feeding Pets of the Homeless.

While waiting at the clinic, Scorpio’s mom sent a heartfelt email:

“I just can’t express how much this means. I was ready to give up, but by God’s grace, you came through. Thank you for saving my daughter.”

Scorpio is now healing. Her wound is clean, and her mom is beginning to breathe again — not just from relief, but from no longer feeling so alone.

They still don’t have a permanent home.
But now they have something just as powerful:
the reminder that kindness exists — and love matters, even without an address.

❤️ $736 healed a wound — and saved a soul on the brink of giving up.
💔 Because to her mom, Scorpio isn’t “just a dog.” She’s everything.
