Do you believe in miracles? If not, the story you’re about to read might convince you that miracles can happen. Only a miracle helped an abandoned dog survive Christmas after her irresponsible owner dumped her in the dumpster.

She might not have survived if the Villa Rica Police Department hadn’t found and rescued her.

Alone, cold, and malnourished, she was found by a police officer who immediately took her to Atlanta West Veterinary Hospital where she made a miraculous recovery! It prompted those at the veterinary hospital to name her ‘Miracle’.

While Miracle is yet to make a full recovery, she’s quickly become everyone’s favorite and restored people’s belief in Christmas miracles

“A tremendous amount of work and love from Dr. Burnett and the staff here went into saving Miracle,” practice manager Jenkins said. “She was frozen almost solid and Doc thought three times he was going to have to put her down. But she kept on fighting and so did we.”

The Atlanta Veterinary Hospital posted the story about Miracle on their Facebook page, stating that Miracle is doing well and would be examined the next day to make sure her recovery is going as it should.

A true fighter, Miracle was quick to regain her strength after an ordeal she’d been put through.

Not only has Miracle made a quick recovery but also found a new home, far away from her previous owner who risked her life by throwing her in a dumpster on Christmas day.

“Your prayers are working!! Our little Christmas Miracle is doing better! Her temperature is normal, she’s picking up her head and trying to look around. She’s swallowing on her own. The police officer who found her is going to give her a fur-ever home of her own.! Keep the prayers coming for a complete recovery!”

Despite everything she’s been through, Miracle was determined to keep on fighting, and thanks to the tireless efforts of the Atlanta Vet Hospital staff, she now has good chances to make a full recovery!
