ANNAPOLIS, Md. — A former rescue dog with an incredible transformation has won the Anne Arundel County SPCA $2,000, in a nationwide competition.
We first told you about Kailey, the 11-year-old poodle mix, back in May. The staff at the shelter said her fur was so badly matted, she couldn't open her mouth to eat. Her nails were overgrown and she was severely malnourished.
Volunteer groomer Patrice McCarron stepped up and gave Kailey a complete makeover and second chance at a happy life. She was adopted out by Patty Hutchinson.
