Lulu was rushed to a veterinarian to be sedated and shaved after she arrived severely matted and in pain.

A neglected little dog was so terrified of being touched when she first showed up at the Chilliwack BC SPCA facility she had to be sedated to be shaved.

"When little Lulu arrived at the BC SPCA after being abandoned in a trailer, she was severely matted and in a lot of pain," said centre manager Jasen Nyrose in the BC SPCA release Aug. 27.

Her fur was so soaked in urine, knotted and in such terrible condition that Lulu was rushed to a veterinarian.

鈥淲hen I first laid eyes on Lulu, I couldn鈥檛 tell her front from her back,鈥 said Nyrose. 鈥淲ith the amount of fur she had, we thought she was medium-sized dog."

It was a huge shock to the SPCA officials when they picked her up and realized she was a 10-lb Lhasa apso.

"The extreme pain little Lulu would have been feeling is just devastating," he said.

The matting was so painful she was absolutely terrified to be touched.

鈥淏ut her physical appearance isn鈥檛 the only transformation we鈥檝e seen in Lulu since she entered our care.

"After just a few days, Lulu has started to come alive actively seeking out love and attention. She even has the cutest little prance when she walks.鈥

The pup is now in the care of a BC SPCA volunteer foster while she recovers from surgeries but potential adopters can seek her out on the of the BC SPCA鈥檚 website in the next week or two.
