She Rescued This Scruffy Stray Dog After Finding Him In Her Neighborhood And She’s Trying To Get Him Healthy So He Can Find A Loving Home To Call His Own
Cypress, Texas. Kathy Freeman is a woman living in Cypress who recently rescued a stray dog after finding him walking around in her neighborhood.
Kathy noticed that this dog was wearing a collar that had a tag with his name on it. His tag read “Mr. Marshmellow” along with a number to call if he happened to be lost.
Kathy quickly called the number on Mr. Marshmellow’s tag, but sadly, the individual who answered the phone explained to Kathy that they did not have a dog at all, let alone one that was missing.
“He was filthy, with severely matted hair all over his body,” Kathy wrote about Mr. Marshmellow on a GoFundMe page.
“He has eye boogers the size of large black olives under each eye that have built up over time and seem to be glued to his face.”
“It appears his toenails have not been trimmed in a long time as they had curled into almost a complete circle.”
“As we were trying to trim some of the matted hair away, we discovered he was also infested with fleas. I tried giving him a bath using Dawn dish soap, but it didn’t kill all of them. His breath is horrible, and I suspected some issues with his teeth and gums.”
Kathy decided to bring Mr. Marshmellow to a local vet to get him checked out. The vet figured that Mr. Marshmellow was around 6 years old, and a Maltese mix.

The vet told Kathy that Mr. Marshmellow needs to have the majority of his teeth removed due to dental issues, and he will also need to have the matted hair on his face removed while he goes in for that procedure.
All of this is going to cost Kathy around $1,000, but she’s willing to do what it takes to get Mr. Marshmellow healthy so she can then find him a loving home to call his own.
“He is such a sweet little cuddle bug and wants nothing more than to be a happy little lap dog,” Kathy said.
“He has never acted scared at all. I think he is just happy to be found and off the streets.”
