Esther was brought to Angels of Assisi by a family from Tennessee who needed help taking care of her.

When she arrived, she was having trouble walking.

The staff adapted a dog wheelchair to fit the calf to help her stay mobile.

“She put up one heck of a good fight, and we cannot thank you all enough for the outpouring of love sent her way,” Angels of Assisi said in an Instagram post.
