They re often blind, deaf, old, injured, nervous or anxious and far from perfect. But these are the pets that have been through hell. They ve been tortured, abused, neglected or abandoned in bushes, homes or by the sides of the road without food or water and they re the ones who need the most love. Thousands of animals are desperately waiting for someone to discover them in an animal shelter and take them home. And when that somebody does, it has the most heartwarming outcome, for both the pet and their new owners. These Queensland animal foster carers saved their rescue dogs from the brink of despair and have helped them endure incredible transformations.
