Cypress, a 12-year-old dog, was found alone in the woods during a hurricane, emaciated, entangled in vines, and suffering from severe health issues, including malnutrition, anemia, osteoarthritis, and more. Rescued by a compassionate landowner and Hillsborough County Animal Services, she was stabilized before being entrusted to Suncoast Animal League and brought to Caring Paws Animal Hospital for intensive care.

At Caring Paws, Cypress underwent a battery of treatments, including medicated baths, injections, and physical therapy, gradually regaining strength and trust. She found safety during another storm in the loving home of Dr. Danielson, who continued her recovery with laser therapy and care.

Throughout her journey, a kind-hearted man named Ed followed her progress and expressed his desire to adopt her. After fostering her and continuing her treatments, Ed officially adopted Cypress on November 14th.

Now thriving, Cypress spends her days napping, wagging her tail, and enjoying short walks with Ed.

Cypress’s story is a testament to resilience, compassion, and the power of rescue. Her best days are finally here.

The 2024 Suncoast Animal League Puppy Bowl is in the books with Team Wags pulling off a big win! Dr. Danielson was victorious in the dog beer chugging contest and some great pups went into forever homes - all in all, a fantastic day!
