Little Suri was almost lost in hardened tar covering literally every inch of her body.

Saving her precious life took 10 loving hands working for hours. She was abandoned by her owner and left to die. We don’t know how long she’d been stuck in the tar, but she was almost unconscious from exhaustion, dehydration and heat stroke. Her tail was stuck to her thighs and her legs were stuck together. All she could move were her eyes. She couldn’t even cry for her mother anymore.

Our team went to work with vegetable oil and soap to melt the tar. We’ve learned from past experiences with puppies stuck in tar that it takes hours to soften the toxic tar. When Suri was finally freed from the grip of the tar, she nearly jumped for joy. And so did we.

Watch this harrowing but wonderful story about turning a potentially terrible death into a beautiful new life.
