Many senior dogs end up spending their golden years at shelters after being labeled “unwanted” by their families.

With inevitable health issues on the rise, some owners find it too much to take care of them, causing true heartbreak for these four-legged cuddle bugs.

At 16 years of age, Link found himself all alone, dumped by his family at a shelter. His heartbreaking cries saddened many, but one particular person decided to step in and change his situation entirely!

Carlie Cahill, from Oklahoma, saw a picture of Link posted online, and she immediately fell in love with him. Despite a plethora of health issues he had, Carlie applied in a heartbeat and brought this sweet doggo home.

When they first met, Link had no fur, and he dealt with several serious infections.

“When I picked him up from the shelter he had mange, fleas, and a yeast infection. Since then I found out he has terrible allergies and has had bacterial infections as well,” Carlie wrote on Instagram.
