There’s nothing better than a fresh haircut. Anybody who’s let their hair get a little too shaggy will tell you that relief comes with a trim.

For Ceaser, a dog rescued from a life confined to a puppy mill, that first haircut came years too late. When rescuers salvaged the dogs from the brutal conditions, they discovered years of neglect had led to these poor souls suffering from dire conditions.

In Ceaser’s case, it was fur matted so bad he practically needed hedge trimmers to fix the problem (fortunately, groomers decided to take the long route and go for the buzzer instead).

When this happy Yorkie finally shed the pounds of matted hair, he couldn’t have been happier. It turns out under the neglect, was a little dog looking to be loved.

Now, making a comeback, Ceaser is looking for a forever home with a family who can love him despite his brutal past. We’re happy he’s on his way to better places and his rescuers are happy they managed to trim the mange!

Watch the incredible transformation Ceaser went through on his road to recovery and please SHARE with a dog lover in your life.
