Dogs who are abandoned or stray frequently have unmanaged fur, which tangles and mattes them and causes them grief.<\/p>\n<p>One stray dog was discovered recently with so much fur that she \u201clooked like a wig\u201d before receiving a transformative makeover from a rescue.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, a seriously matted dog discovered in the middle of the road was saved by Mac\u2019s Mission, a nonprofit organization dedicated to special needs dog rescue in Missouri. The dog, who was now going by Pear, had thick, matted fur and was in horrible condition.<\/p>\n<p>Pear \u201cdidn\u2019t even look like a dog,\u201d according to the rescue, who also said that she \u201clooked like a wig\u201d and was \u201cjust a wad of hair.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the rescue took her in, a group of volunteers began assisting Pear and giving her a \u201cspa session\u201d to get rid of all of her fur.<\/p>\n<p>Rescue founder Rochelle Steffent told Newsweek, \u201cWe got her cleaned up, shaved down, and a bath to get rid of any grime and fleas.\u201d She promptly dozed off after settling into one of our places.<\/p>\n<p>Pear was a very kind and patient girl during the entire process: \u201cShe was the sweetest and just sat there while we got all the terrible thick matts of her which took quite a while.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continued by saying that Pear was fortunate not to have had a vehicle crash and that she was relieved that there were no maggots in her fur. Pear, however, appears to have lost an eyeball due to an earlier accident.<\/p>\n<p>Thanking their supporters on Facebook, the rescue remarked, \u201cPear has a new life ahead of her thanks to you all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s difficult to believe that Pear is the same dog because she looks so gorgeous! We appreciate Mac\u2019s Mission providing this adorable dog with a much-needed facelift!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The transformation a haircut can bring about is very amazing, especially for a dog.
