Mansfield, Ohio - Danish was rescued along with four other dogs from a severely neglected household. Now, an animal shelter is looking for a new home for him.

Found in a filthy house with no food, the puppy was surprisingly physically stable, but mentally a wreck.

Staff described him as wild, unsocialized, and terrified of people.

When he arrived at a shelter in Ohio, the dog was barely familiar with normal canine behavior, and he also needed surgery for an eyelid abnormality.

After several weeks of medical care and a subsequent stay in a foster home, Danish began to show significant progress, especially with the help of another pup, who helped show him "the ropes on how to dog" and relearn basic behaviors.

But Danish's happy ending is still open: as the foster family cannot keep him permanently, the animal shelter is now looking for a suitable home for him.

The staff at the animal shelter emphasized on Facebook that only applicants who can meet the dog's special needs will be considered.

Danish's story has been widely shared on social media, but there have been no concrete adoption inquiries as yet.

Everyone is now hoping for the best for Danish and that the dog will soon get what he didn't have for a long time: love, security, and a real home.
