They quickly got her to New York-based Second Chance Rescue NYC Dogs, and she immediately got the care she needed.
After a careful check-up, the vet found out that besides her broken leg and jaw, the poor dog had a bullet inside her abdomen! It's incredible how she still wagged her tail when anyone showed her some love.
For a few days, things were really uncertain, but miraculously, the dog started getting better. In a post on their social media account, Second Chance Rescue NYC Dogs shared how amazing she is—despite all the pain she's been through, she's loving and beautiful.
“Where there is a will, there’s a way. There is something about this little lambchop survivor, folks; she is so loving and beautiful,” shared Second Chance Rescue NYC Dogs.
And though she's been through so much suffering, she's still eager to connect with people and give love.
“She is the kind of dog that you literally have to get a grip, sit back and honor the connection with mutual openness. She has endured a lifetime of pain and horror yet she wants to love and give and connect.”
Sadly, her leg couldn't be recovered, but the vets worked their magic to heal the rest of her. So now, even though she has only three legs, she's making a full recovery.
Lilac is doing wonderfully now, surrounded by lots of love and attention. She's not just part of a family, but a huge family that spans the whole world. Her rescuers are so grateful for the love and support everyone has shown her.
