When Angel Domingue saw the white dog lying on a blanket in the corner of a south Sacramento car wash, she thought he might be dead. His feet, legs, mouth, and underneath were terribly pink, and his paws and tail were bleeding. She and housemate Lee-Anna Postnikoff found that he was alive but weren’t sure he was going to make it. The first veterinarian they went to on Franklin Blvd. wouldn’t treat him. The second told them that it was a bad case of Demodex, a skin disease caused by a mite that is treatable. Since January 9th, Angel and Lee-Anna have cared for Marley who has been staying at the car wash. They visit him twice daily to give him medication, feed him, walk him, and clean up. At night he is locked behind the gates at the car wash. Other angels donated vitamins, bedding blankets and a dog house. The city shelter on Front St. neutered him. Very much on the mend, this young, happy, and loving Marley will be going to the shelter Thursday to wait to be adopted. Now all that he needs is a good home.

Anne,
good job with helping with Marley.
Just like Ollie, people chipping in together to help a helpless animal and something good happens.
