Emmy was underweight, flea-infested, and had pressure sores on both her elbows and knees. Her age was evaluated by the vet specialists to be roughly 8 or 9 years old.

"She was presumably imprisoned in a cage for a very long time," Boesen continued. "She clearly hasn't had a great past."

They realized Emmy needed to go to an emergency vet hospital straight away after getting a closer look. That's when her P.O.E.T. Animal Rescue pals came in.

"A handful of our board members stopped everything to pick her up from the vet and drive her to the emergency clinic," said Boesen. "She was stated to be curled up in a ball in the back of the automobile."
