Wesley Romero+FollowA mattress was his only home—until hope arrivedA stray dog in California made an old, discarded mattress his only safe spot after being abandoned. Just as animal rescuer Suzette Hall set out to help, the trash company took away the mattress—leaving the pup with nothing. Neighbors had tried to help, but he was too scared and alone. When Suzette arrived, she quickly rescued him and rushed him to the vet, where he was treated for a severe skin infection and fleas. Now, instead of sleeping on the street, this little survivor is on his way to a real home and a fresh start. What would you have done if you saw him? #Pets #DogRescue #California290Share
