In January 2018, Matt Bentley was off-roading in Utah’s West Desert near the Salt Flats when he spotted something running down the trail. As he approached, he realized it was a dog in a pitiable state. The dog was emaciated, hairless, and deprived of food.

Bentley couldn’t leave her there in that condition and immediately took her to the Utah Adoption Animal Clinic. The clinic provided her with the necessary medical care and attention that she needed. Despite her difficult past, the puppy was still friendly and loving towards humans, and she was given the name Kelly.

After three months of care, Kelly was finally ready to find a permanent home. Jamie Jacques and her family took Kelly in and she adjusted quickly to her new surroundings. She now has a dog companion named Rocky, who is older than her, and they both love each other dearly.
