Montana had demodectic mange, a non- contagious, treatable condition common in pups who've had poor nutrition or stress
Last month we told you about Montana, the puppy abandoned by the side of a road in Georgia, malnourished and suffering from mange and parvo, who was rescued by Kaci Deater of Statesboro, Ga.You left such nice comments that we had to send them to Kaci. She sent us this letter in return, and included this heartbreaking "before" photo of Montana and an incredible "after," which you can see after the jump.
Thank you so much for putting Montana's story out there so that everyone can see. She is so special to me and I find it comforting to see all the positive feedback that it's been getting.
Happy and healthy with her new mom
It feels good to know that there are so many people out there that support adopting animals in need. I hoped that writing her story would motivate more people to go out on a limb and adopt an animal that may need special care.Previous entries:
If I, being a poor college student, can do it then it's possible for anyone. I have attached a before and after picture to show the wonderful transformation Montana has gone through.
Again, thank you,
Kaci Deater and Montana

Wow, this is wonderful! What a beautiful story!
Looks like true love for both Montana & her new Mom!
Congratulations & thank you for caring!
A loving person, a greatful puppy... I feel proud of both of you!
God Bless you, And your puppy, Look how fabulous he turned out.
Thank you for taking in an animal that many would have written off.
I foster dogs myself and I know how difficult it is to imagine that a dog can improve...physically or socially.
But with lots of love and patience...they all can!
