As deadly floods swept through Texas, one tiny survivor clung to life in the storm’s aftermath. Just 10 weeks old, a puppy—now named Slugger—was discovered by chance near a park in Dallas by animal control officers. His survival? Nothing short of a miracle.
It was pure luck, as Patti Dawson from Dallas Dog RRR described. The rescuers were searching for a stray when they spotted something odd: a piece of purple fabric fluttering in the wind. When Erica looked closer, she saw him—shivering, soaking wet, covered in ticks—sitting silently on a sack of onions in a flooded field. He didn’t run. He just waited.
Slugger was in heartbreaking shape. One eye was infected, his small body was crawling with fleas and ticks, and he may have eaten dirt, plastic, or trash just to stay alive. No mother. No siblings. No shelter. Just rain, hunger, and loneliness.
Once rescued, Slugger was placed in the care of Dallas Dog RRR and then a loving, experienced foster home. He received 24-hour medical attention, kept warm in an incubator, and slowly began responding to antibiotics and deworming medication. His vision is improving, and so is his appetite.
Slugger now has one simple wish: to find a forever home. His rescuers are committed to giving him that chance—because after everything he’s been through, this brave little soul deserves nothing less than a lifetime of love.
