Menands, NY – A puppy who nearly died while in the care of a “rescue agency” has finally recuperated enough to be adopted. The husky puppy, named Sprite, was near death when she was rescued from Empawthy Rescue Inc., and taken under the wing of the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society in January.

Sprite was one of more than 100 animals rescued from Empawthy Rescue Inc. Though her condition was dire at the time she was seized, she showed her rescuers that she wanted to live.

This week, the animal welfare agency made the announcement that Sprite had recuperated enough to leave the shelter’s care and join a family. The organization said:

In January our Humane Law Enforcement team removed over 100 animals from Empawthy Rescue. One of them was a severely emaciated husky puppy and when they found her, they thought she was dead. When they saw her shallow breaths, she was rushed to Capital District Veterinary Referral Hospital, where they immediately took measures to save her life.
This little fighter amazed us all with her will to survive! We named her Sprite and eventually placed her in a wonderful foster home.
Now she’s looking for a home to call her own.

The shelter has shared important information about Sprite:

If you’re considering adopting Sprite, here’s what you need to know:
She had a rough start medically and is on the mend. But we don’t know what future medical needs she may have.
She is a rambunctious girl and doesn’t know quite how to be a dog.
She lives in a foster home with other dogs and may do well with a patient dog friend her size or larger to show her the ropes.
She is very food motivated and already knows some commands, like sit and down.
She’d likely be fine with older kids who understand how to interact with dogs but she hasn’t had much exposure to them.
She is nervous about new experiences.

All inquiries about Sprite must be made directly to Mohawk Hudson Humane Society. Thank you.
