A dog that was left malnourished and tied to a tree in DeKalb County in March has fully recovered and is ready to be adopted.
The 11-month-old pup weighed only 31 pounds when she was found abandoned near the Davidson-Arabia Mountain Nature Center in Lithonia on March 10, according to LifeLine Animal Project. She was also anemic, had a respiratory infection and had giardia, which a parasite that can infect a dog’s gastrointestinal tract.
